Has anyone had the epidural injection for the following?

This MRI was done last year, pain started a year ago:
CONTRAST
History: Neck pain radiating into right arm for 5 months.


Technique: Sagittal T1, T2, proton density and axial T2 and gradient
echo images of the cervical spine were obtained.

Findings: There is straightening and slight reversal of the normal
cervical lordosis. There is no compression fracture. No prevertebral
soft tissue swelling is seen. The cervical medullary junction appears
normal. There is no evidence of atlantoaxial subluxation.

At the level of C2-C3 there is no significant disc bulge.

At the level of C3-C4 there is a moderate central focal disc bulge.

At the level of C4-C5 there is a moderate diffuse disc bulge.

At the level of C5-C6 there is a large left paracentral disc
protrusion compressing the cervical spinal cord. There is posterior
osteophyte formation.

At the level of C6-C7 there is a moderate diffuse disc bulge.

At the level of C7-T1 there is a minimal diffuse disc bulge.

The cervical spinal cord is normal in course, caliber and signal
characteristics.

No neck mass is seen.

Impression: Moderate left paracentral disc protrusion compressing the
cervical spinal cord at C5-6 with associated posterior osteophyte
formation. Less significant degenerative changes at other levels.
