steroid injection

[davidgary]

I had my first injection a couple months ago and it went just fine. did help some after about 3 weeks. The second one was just something terrible. It was going just fine and then extreme pain that almost took me off the table. I went to work right after and by time i got there me feet hurt bad and they tingled and it was very hard to walk and it had lasted all day. but sence then other symptom have come up. things that i dont want to mention. Can any one tell me if this is normal or not. and i told the dr and he wants another MRI. can I get some feed back thanks

Sounds like an affect of either bowel or bladder took place. Can happen when injections get to close to the nerve, or make a disc leak. You need to go with your doctor on this one.

In this case , just follow the dr. , do whatever he says.
Good luck

Yes indeed, you really need to go back to your treating doctor and get advice from him. If you don't want to mention things here....then its isn't all that good. By the way...we have pretty much heard it all before. So don't be shy. We get it. Really.

DO NOT put this off. Progressive neurologic deficits after invasive procedure is a very serious matter that must be evaluated promptly by an MRI. Often a bleed or fluid accumulation in the spine is the cause.
