Cannot seem to get off the topic of epidural steroid injections. Just ran across this study from last year's Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. It showed that each epidural steroid injection increased the risk of vertebral bone fracture by 21%! This is much higher than previously thought.
Did you know that steroids including cortisone and predisone cause bone loss and decreased bone density?
