An epidural injection is a medical procedure where an anesthetic or steroid medication is injected into the epidural space around the spinal cord. This is often done to relieve pain, particularly in the lower back, neck, or legs, by reducing inflammation and numbing the affected area. It's commonly used to manage chronic pain conditions | Precision Care Medical & Sports Performance

Cervical Epidural Steroid Injection

You might feel little worse the first day after an epidural injection because of local inflammation and irritation at the injection site, a temporary increase in pain known as a “steroid flare,” nerve irritation from the injection, and the pressure of the injected fluid. However, by the next day, you usually start to feel the benefits of the injection, often experiencing significant pain relief and improved mobility. #painmanagement #backpain #medicalstudent #doctor | Precision Care Medical & Sp
