What Is The Cause Of Pain In Leg When On Cortisone Injection?
My right foot has mortons nuromas, and my foot doctor fitted me with crthodic. Pain was still bad and he gave me injection cortisone , told him was having leg pain, 4days later foot feels fine but dull ache in leg. Should i give it more time or see my M.D.
Hi, since the pain is in the leg which is different from the pain in the foot that you had before, I would be concerned particularly about a blood clot in the leg. Maybe its just muscular pain but I would like to be sure its not a clot- this can be easily excluded by an ultrasound of the veins in the leg. Since this is a specialized test that needs a physician to order and interpret it, I would recommend that you give a call to your MD.
Please let me know if that was helpful. Thanks!
