I Had A CESI (steroid Injection While Under Sedation) For

I had a CESI (steroid injection while under sedation) for 3 herniated discs in my neck. This is the 3rd time I have had this procedure - using the same doctor but --- this last time - 7 days ago - was with the same doctor but a different hospital and different medicine (not sure if it was the anesthesia or the steroid itself that was slated to change). Any how - I experienced facial flushing, hives and a burning sensation in my ankles!! I have been told that the facial flushing and hives is a possible side effect but I am wondering about the burning sensation in my ankles. Any thoughts?

This procedure was done by a pain management doctor/neurologist.
