cortisone reaction? - leg weakness/tightness/pain/cramping

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I know I've asked about caudal cortisone epidurals before and I've been pleaded

with not to get them. I think the reaction I seem to be having is to the

medication, not the actual procedure, since I had the procedure once and I was

ok.

I am having methylprednisolone (same as Depo-Medrol ingredients) injected ...

this time I had more needles I think, I also get my neck, shoulder and jaw

trigger points done. I think twenty whereas last time was ten, but I lost count

the first time, and this time I asked.

anyways, has anyone else had this reaction with their legs feeling generally

weak and sore and a bit worse each day until you wake up with a charlie horse in

one of your legs?

what did you do?

I called the specialists office Thursday to report the weakness and some

cramping when I walked down some stairs, and didn't hear back but he works at a

different location Thurs and then only a half day on Friday. The charlie horse

didn't happen until this morning.

thanks

Margaret
