I occasionally send a patient for an epidural, but I feel they are significantly overused. There have been many studies showing them to be of little or no benefit in many populations of patients. Here is a new study from Spine Journal showing patients with spinal stenosis (narrowing) who had epidurals did significantly worse after 4 years than the control group!
