Have Had Multiple Steroid Injections, Severe Pain. Injected For Sciatica. What Can Help?
I have had multiple steroid injections in my left and right bursa in the hips do to severe pain when I walk more than a 100 yards or so without stopping. Also have had injection for siatica. Since receiving the injections, I have started having extreme pain in the lower right leg, foot ankle, calf. sometimes in the left as well simultaneously. Its not just a cramp it is so painful I cannot stand or stretch to work it out. My husband tries massaging it but that doesnt help. The pain level is off the 0-10 scale...leaving me screaming and crying. I am at the point where I do not want to go to sleep for fear I will be awaken to another round of unbearable pain.
MRI scan of spine and hips is needed. Disc in spine should be assessed and sudden increase in pain points to some nerve root impingement in spine.Consult an spine/ortho specialist soon.
