What Can Cause Swelling In The Leg After Receiving Lumbar Steroid Injections For A Herniated Disc?
I have a herniated disc from a couple of years ago that radiated down right leg. I had two lumbar steroid injections, and it has been fine until now but now it is going down the left leg and only the left leg is swollen. do I need to go to the er. I have and appointment with a chiropractor in the morning
The symptoms seem to be related to side effects of the injection. I suggest using Tylenol for the pain. I also suggest using cold compresses for local application.
Hope my answer was helpful. If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi
