A member asked:
Is it common to experience leg cramps several days after an epidural steroid injection (i had mine on tuesday, it is now sunday)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anesthesia including: epidural is not without any complication but it should not be so late after injection. The cramps may be not due to the epidural but the cause of the medical problem which required epidural steroid injection. Check with your doctor.
