I am 55 years old, female, had back injections to L5 S1 under anesthesia with fluoroscope last week. He had a hard time getting to the spot he wanted, he said it may have been blocked by arthritis, etc. I am not sure this has anything to do with what is happening, this is just some history.
I have horrific cramps in my legs, feels like horrible Charlie horses and have to stand to urinate or my legs cramp up and force me to stand up. When I sleep, I have severe sweating (not just like hot flashes, but like someone threw a bucket of water on me). I take 2 mg Estrodial daily. My hair smells horrible and weird, I have body odor that smells funny, too, but this is not too strong. The center of the back of my throat/back of my tongue is dry and has been for over a week. I have jawbreakers (hard candy) or gum in my mouth most of the time, even while going to sleep. I take medication for blood pressure and water pills daily. I take oxycodone 30 mg QID for chronic pain, brachialplexopathy pain, etc. My Mom was falling about 1 1/2 weeks go, so I caught her, she is over 200 lbs. This was not the cause of the injections, etc. this is in addition to it. The doctor gave me a Medrol dose pack to start for the pain caused by her fall. I have not started it yet, he was waiting for a week after the back procedure for fear of giving me too many steroids at once. I am not sure if this problem is gynecological, neurological, or something else entirely. What should I do? Who should I call?
