Has anyone had a bad reaction to a spinal epidural?

Jennifer I'm concerned about your statement "and the steroids are not FDA approved for injections into the spine." when in fact cortisone is a common steroid injected into the spine for pain?

@jenatsky Here is the information about steroid epidural injections and the risks from the FDA website.

I know this may bring more questions than answers and most patients may not know about this.
Are you considering and epidural injection? Have you discussed the risks with your doctor?
