Cervical or Lumbar Epidurals and Biologics

Posted by njbay @njbay, 3 days ago

For anyone taking biologics (Humira, Embrel, Skyrizi, etc...) that also needed to get cervical or lumbar epidurals, did you have to stop taking your biologic before getting your ESI?

And actually, I almost forgot to include methotrexate. Do you also have to stop taking this before getting an ESI?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Spine Health Support Group.

Hi! I'm on methotrexate, and meloxicam, among others. I do not have to stop the methotrexate, but I do have to stop the meloxicam and any other NSAIDS before my injections.
