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.
I had an injection of Marcaine and Lidocaine with a steroid in my knee for inflammation/ tendious. But six to seven hours later bad headache, chills and feel like throwing up, backache hurts. Is this a side effect for the injections, had this happen once before almost a year ago?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Marcaine is known to cause headaches, backache dizziness and nausea. it will pass in a bit. Hang in there. You could take an anti-emetic like Ondansetron for the nausea and a Paracetamol for your headache.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
