I have been getting multi transmorble steroid spinal epidural injections and my chest is tight i've been menstruating for 22 days whst can this be?

Sorry but say again?: I understand steroid spinal epidural injections but can't even hazard a guess as to what "transmorble" means. A steroid "flush" as a side effect in the face and chest could include tightness ; menstrual changes can occur so contact whoever injected you to better find out what may be going on. These symptoms usually settle down after a few days....22 days seems a bit much to me. Good luck.
