Can Taking Steroid Injections For Annular Fissure In L5 Cause Migraines?
I have recently been diagnosed with an annular fissure in my L5 I had a set of steroid injections. I m about a month out and still have been getting migraines when walking or being up doing anything. It s only better if I m laying down in the bed. It s gotten worse. Are these headaches associated with an annular fissure or maybe more with the injections

Steroids generally are not the cause for migraine nor does the anal fissure. It's better to re confirm your diagnosis. I can vouch either it can be a stress induced headache
