A member asked:
Hello, i had trigger point injections this morning due to chronic shoulder problems. what are side effects if i am still breastfeeding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably OK: If you had steroid and or lidocaine you should be fine. Whether or not you will have a problem depends on the medications used for the injections and how much medicine was used. It is always best to let all your doctors know you are breast feeding before any shots, treatments, or any medications are prescribed.
