I recently had two cervical epidurals on C5-C7 in which I have had several times in the past 6 yrs., but this time I ve been experiencing some debilitating headaches, leg weakness, knee pain, joint and arm pain and dizziness.

Hello,

The cervical degenerative disc disease is causing you the headache. Taking anti-inflammatory drugs such Advil or naproxen for pain is advisable. Also, steroid injections can be used. Surgery is more accurate and definitive treatment.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
