Getting Epidural Injection - Long term effects?

Saw a lot of articles and medical studies about potential long term effects of Epidurals leading to potential bone loss, osteoporosis and potential for worse fracturing etc.

Is that true? I'm having my 4th and 5th epidural shots tomorrow but am anxious now since I've done three but the first time was about a year ago, one shot on my right side (where the pain is L5-S1) but then I think early Jan this year or Feb 2026, I had another where I did my left and my right side this time since I had pain in my left.

I don’t want this to get worse but I remember my pain in Jan/Feb was like an 8 but after the shots was about a 4 which is why the doctor recommend this to me again, especially since they said it’s after 3 months. They originally wanted me to do radio frequency ablation

Is this a real area of concern or is this something I shouldn't need to worry much about?

I really appreciate any help and tips.

Hey everyone, looking for this card: Karen’s Umbreon CGC 10 - would love to ideally meet locally at a card show or somewhere safe for both parties and pay cash in hand but understand if that’s not possible.

I’m based in NYC but can possibly travel if it makes sense. I can also do trades but mostly have high tier soccer cards / hobby boxes.

Also looking for a Neo Lugia JP (NM).

Thanks!
