Hi, I had an ESI 9 days ago to relieve discomfort from a trapped nerve between vertebrae c6 andC7. Nine days later Im still experiencing dizziness neck stiffness at the point of entry. I was told prior to procedure the recovery time was 48hours but I dont feel I am able to sit upright for long periods of time. I am taking pregabalin 75mg any nortriptyline 25mg and Celebrex.can you advise what might be causing the delay to recovery please?
Hi, You had recently undergone cervical epidural steroid injection for C6-C7 disc and root entrapment are suffering from dizziness and stiffness which can occur a complication of injectionPlease contact your primary doctor/Neurologist for further examination may require repeat MRI cervical region with screening brain to rule out any fresh changes (I meant complication)Meantime take rest, have plenty of fluids, continue the above medicationRegards Chat Doctor.
