Hi

I had a steroid injection yesterday (a general one, not in a specific joint) and now I feel really weird. My arms and legs keep on going cold and numb (like someone has been siiting on them) and I keep on feeling really dizzy and on edge, and it seems to be causing me more pain than helping the pain.

I have had steroid injections before, but never felt like this.

I just wanted to know if this can be a normal effect of a steroid injection or not? Confused

Thanks

Amy

Hmmm- I've never experienced that Amy. I wonder if it might ba an idea to talk to NHS Direct just to reassure yourself?
YES I'VE CHANGED, PAIN DOES THAT TO PEOPLE.

Hi Amy,

I agree with Julie....ring NHS Direct even if just for reassurance.
I have had several steroid injections but never felt like that.

Love Doreen xx

Hello Amy,


I have never felt like that either. Ring the NHS Direct and let us know how you got on.
