Could a pre surgery epidural steroid injection put me at risk for bleeding our is it safe?

pechc
I am going to have a bl with implant and a tt. I get epidural steroid injections in my spine and am due for one 2 days before my surgery. I have to stop all steroids and anti inflammatories 2 weeks prior to surgery but I have to get the injection in order to sleep on my back after surgery and for pain management. Please advise. Thank you!
