Hello,

Tingling sensation after epidural injection can be due to nerve damage or infection. Get examined physically & get treated for disc & arthritis. You need medications as well as physical therapy under an expert.

For pain, you can take NSAIDS (Naproxen), warm compress or pain sprays(Volini).

Visit a neurologist & get Nerve Conduction tests done, get evaluated, get treated at the earliest. Nerves take time to heal. In the meantime take vitamin B6, B12, Folic acid with minerals.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Nupur K, General & Family Physician
