Can Cervical Injection Cause Fatigue And Feeling Of Fever?

Hi there. On October 7th, I had a cervical injection due to chronic pain in neck/shoulders area (several herniated discs). This is not my first, however 2 weeks after I had the injection I feel as though I have an infection. That feeling of having a fever but not running one and extremely tired. It comes and goes off and on, but turned out on October 21st, I went to my primary and he said I had a UTI so he gave me antibiotics. Which helped that infection feeling but then 4 days after finishing the antibiotics I felt the same way. So I went back to my primary he said the UTI was no longer but gave me a Z-Pac which I took and same thing happened. I felt better while taking the med s then within days of finishing I feel that fever feeling and extreme fatigue again. I felt terrible this weekend and am wondering if this could be a side effect of the injection?

Hello,

It is possible for spinal injections to result in soft tissue hemorrhage, infection, etc.

You should be checked by imaging of your cervical spine (CT or MRI) in order to exclude the possibility of soft tissue hemorrhage or abscess (infection) after the injections.

Discuss with your Doctor for these issues.

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

Take care

Regards,
