I did have one set of cervical Epidural injections which did work, then i went and broke my darn neck so now it always gives me problems.
My thoracic epidurals did nothing. My problem there ended with surgery , removal of the disk which is tricky in the thoracic spine and difficult to get the surgeons to believe it is a painful area. I had a discogram to prove i had painful segments in my thoracic spine. It took about 4 or 5 months after surgery for the thoracic pain to go away.
I know some docs just inject on level at a time. My surgeon does about 4 levels at one time bilaterally with me as i always seem to have multiple problems.
take care, don't give up , just find better doctors,
judy
