What Causes Constant Twitching In Left Leg After Taking Cortisone Injection?
I had a lumbar cortisone injection in 2 areas over 48 hours ago. At first I had a headache and felt weak. Now complete exhaustion has set in and I slept for over 24 hours. I also experienced constant twitching in my left leg - which has subsided a bit. Normal??

Hello,
Every single of the symptoms you experienced is normal after lumbar cortisone injection.
However, keep observing the changes, and take note of all symptoms you might have to discuss it further with your caring doctor. If something unusual, that won't subside, should go to ER as soon as possible.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
