Cervical radiculopathy affects 83 in 100,000 persons each year [1]. This condition typically presents with cervical pain, and initial management includes pharmacotherapy and physical therapy [2]. Cervical epidural steroid injection (CESI) has also been shown to provide effective analgesic relief [3]. The complication rate of CESI is 5 in 1000 injections, with minor complications including vasovagal symptoms and skin rashes [4]. However, some cases of severe complications include strokes, hematomas, and vertebral artery dissections [5].
