I remember someone had a paper on this or a study?

Ps. Do you have epidural space? I do not due to surgery

I understand this topic was discussed previosly, but I'm not finding the

older posts. So, I have had two steriod epidurals since my detether. I have

heard this is contradictory to have after surgery. Can anyone comment on this?

Hi ,

Â

I'm not sure if I have the space or not. I know that the second one was very

painful. I wrote my Neurosurgeon's PA and she couldn't find any info on this.

She wrote an email to my Neurosurgeon asking him if this was a contradiction.

His reply was " Yes, it is an increased risk of spinal cord injury. Generally,

not recommended " .
