Epidural steroid injections are excellent at relieving pain in your arm or leg pain from a pinched nerve in your spine. The worse the pinch is, the shorter the pain relief lasts. If surgery is indicated, the degree of relief from the epidural injection is a good indication of the degree of relief you may get from surgical spinal decompression surgery.
Yes. They are quite helpful for numerous spinal issues.
