What Causes Numbness And Burning Sensation In Right Foot?

I got an injection for a bulging disc in L5 nerve root. dexamethasone sodium phos ominpaque was administered as well as lidocane. This is 2nd injection. First injection helped relieved pain but another injection was needed. I was allowed to return to work (light duty) the next day. I work in a hospital and I walk a lot. Its been 3 days since last injection. I have burning sensation in right foot where before I had numbness. My question is: Is this just a side effect from the injection and just monitor or should I be concern. It easies up when I lay down. Male, 39, 5 9, 200 lbs.

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum .
All orthopedic manipulations needs rest for recovery.More over it appears that the bulging disc would have crossed the steroid injection position means the bulge has increased.
Now i advise you to consult your orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment .
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms injections of vitamin B1,6,and 12, calcium, multivitamins, and pain killers.
Avoid taking potato, other tubers, tomato, egg, chicken, and sea foods to minimize the perception of the skeletal muscle pain.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
