What Causes Hot Flashes Post Facet Joint Injection Intake?
I recently received two cervical facet joint shot st base of my neck bcc I was in a car accident. For the most part it s working but there are minor flare ups. I got it 5 days ago. A week before the shot and since then I get flushed and start sweating for several minutes. It even happens when I m sleeping. Is it my neck injury? I have two herniated disks and already had some degeneration and was seeing a chiropractor.

Hi,
The symptoms are suggestive of autonomic nervous system involvement. In spine injuries, cervical sympathetic chain can get injured, which can cause similar symptoms. Please get an MRI of cervical spine done.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Sudhir Kumar,
