Experiencing Back Pain & Tingling After Taking Transforaminalsteroid?
Hi I have had a Fluoroscopically-guidedleft L5-S1transforaminalsteroid injection a couple of days ago for severe pain from my back to my foot which prevented me from working for 5 weeks now. The pain has reduced by 60-70% but I have this tingling sensation on the side of my leg from the side of my knee to my foot. Is this normal or is there anything I can do to eliminate this feeling? I am also having trouble sleeping with no specific reason. I am a 66 year old female and still working. Thanks for any advice.
