I got an epiderol cortisone shot in my back today and iam in a lot of pain is that normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pain is not normal: any surgery or invasive procedure has a side effects and pain is one of them. After the epidural injection it is expected to have pain up to 24-48 hovers, then pain hopefully will subside and gradually you will feel much better. Please, call your physician for more information and instructions.
