Noticing A Weight Gain Specially Facial Due To An Accident

I have problem with c5 c6 / c6 c7 due to a automobile accident - I di physical therapy for months and finally agreed to a CESI in Nov and a second in Dec 2013. The first one helped some after the second the pain was worse than before I even had the first one. After the second not only did was the pain worse but I have experienced weight gain (8 pounds) I am only 5 2 and never gain weight my weight is generally 108 - I also experience very noticable rounding of the face. How long do these side effects stay? Does the rounding of the face go away? What can be done for the weight gain - I have heard dueratc. When is your system clean from the steriods. My Dr. wanted me to have a 3rd shot which I would not even consider.

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
Now you have 3 problems, one is the pain.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms neurotropic injections for 10 consecutive days,and then periodically,calcium supplements, and pain killers.
Avoid taking potato, other tubers,tomato,egg, chicken,and and sea foods.
The second is the obesity,you can control by diet control.
the third is the moon face, it may be the kidney problem, and for that you should consult a nephrologist for diagnosis.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
