What Causes Pain In The Pelvis After Receiving An Epidural Shot?
I was in a bus accident on February 6. I ve been having pain in my lower back and legs. I had an epidural steroid injection last Wednesday. Since then, I have been having pelvic pain as well as feeling like someone is sticking pins and needles in the front of my legs. Is this common?

Hi,
Slight pain is quite common after epidural shot. Generally, it will settle by itself even without treatment. You can take analgesics like Ibuprofen or Acetaminophen for symptomatic relief. If pain persists for long, better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
