Why are epidural steroid injections for back pain limited to only a few a year? Dec 1, 2023 | By Richard H. Rho, M.D. (@richardrho)Comment receiving replies
I had a consultation at Mayo Spine Center last week. Two solutions were proposed.
1. A six-day dose pak of medroprednisone
2. An ablation that may have to be repeated at some point.
I'm on my third day of medropredisone and my back pain has reduced significantly.
I was pleased that two non-surgical options were proposed. Happy to hear the ablation was successful
Thanks

Have had ablation in spine and shoulder but stop at surgery. With EDS my calcium doesn’t seat screws or do anything normal. N never heard of medroprednisone. Will look into it. Have started Humira and after three injections, there is significant reduction in pain but back is still screaming.
Thank you

Glad to hear you found some relief. I hope this is the answer for you. Best of luck. It was good also to confirm that ablation was a good choice for us. Thanks for sharing.
