Ed - I've taken steroid packs while waiting for a nerve block but never prescription NSAIDs. My doctor apparently ~thought~ he gave me prescription NSAIDs because he argued with me that my hair loss was from the drug and not the nerve block. (Three months after each nerve block, I lose a LOT of hair.) I declined another nerve block this time because the hair loss just adds insult to injury. I agreed that if the therapy doesn't stop the numbness in my leg, I'll reconsider the nerve block. So, this time he did give me a prescription NSAID, Meloxicam, which he said 5 minutes earlier could cause hair loss.... And he gave me muscle relaxers for sleeping because I'm not. They do help me get comfortable and sleep, but I've a couple of rough days afterwards.
