Could The Drowsiness Be Due To The Steroid Injection To The Spine?
Hi, I had a Steroid Spine Injection (my 2nd time in 2 months) at L5S1 for a compressed Nerve Root (Sciatic Nerve) My question is the injection was at 10am today & I want to know if having a few beers tonight (after dinner ~8pm) will affect the results? (I am not taking any medications today, nor do I plan to fill them until tomorrow morning, so if its because drowsiness, I should be fine *I think*, however, any advice on having a few drinks the night of a steroidal spinal injections would be very appreciated.
