What Causes Leg Cramp After A Hip Injection?
I had a hip injection yesterday for my osteoarthritis and I had cramping in my leg right after the injection. Is that normal? Also, my bp and pulse dropped and I became dizzy and I had to stay another hour to make sure bp/pulse was ok. I am a 48 year old female and I am on high blood pressure medication.

It could be just a body reaction to sudden pain of injection
causing syncopal attack low BP pulse
or it could be an allergic reaction to injected drug with cramping in leg and other symptoms
so better avoid the drug next time
