More helpful: If you'd kindly list problems/concerning issues that you've experienced since undergoing the procedure. "signs of a bad injection" may be a very broad category that might include symptoms or signs mistakenly perceived as "bad:" temporary side effects, lack of full symptom relief, temporary muscle weakness, etc. Looking forward to hearing from you...

Why do you say that?: Complications can be bleeding, infection, nerve damage and paralysis, but these are extremely rare. You will notice fever, increased pain, weakness, headaches so if you have any of these symptoms you might need to be evaluated.
