i had 3 epidural shots due to herniated L4-L5 in 2020, reported it to my AME at six month physical, no issues no delays. I previously had protruded disc at L5-S1 for which I get disability 20%from Air Force(4 epidurals in 2011 while active duty) also no issues.
i have never seen that chart posted above, maybe my AME was doing more paperwork than I realized, but I’ve always received my ticket before leaving the office. YMMV
