Can I get an epidural steroid injection, for my herniated disc, the day before I have my lip injections?

Caroline899May 16, 2016
I regularly get Restylane Silk injections in my lips. I normally stop taking any nsaids before my injections to prevent bruising (having accidentally taken some once without issue). I have an epidural injection (cortisone) scheduled the day before and want to know if this could cause any interactions? I scheduled the two appointments close together to be off work less time and hope this is ok. Any advice is appreciated!
