Cheryl, I've not had any cervical injections. I've had them recommended by pain management doctors as a way to verify the questionable relationship between my c-spine and some unusual symptoms. (nerve sensations on the side of my face.... "just do a cervical epidural and if the symptoms go away, they come from your neck!")

It will be interesting to see if they help. If you get short term relief, you'll know more about where your symptoms are coming from. And you may get longer term relief if cooling off the inflammation will allow more healing to take place... stopping a vicious circle of inflamation causing more swelling causing more inflammation.

Please keep us posted... all the best,

Mark
