Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Is Sacrococcygeal Injection Likely To Cause Long Term Side Effects To Body?
I want to know what kind of side effects i may have with a sacrococcygeneal injection and is there any possible long term damage in the future from this procedure? I am 17 years old and heard that the steroids would make the bone brittle in the future, more prone to break easily.
Dosage used in such injections are not expected to cause long term side effects such as brittle bones. Reported adverse effects with the procedure are allergic reaction to the medication, local infections, bruising and soreness in the injection site. All of these are highly unlikely. I hope you feel better soon.
