What are the side effects of lumbar steriod injections?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Minimal : Sometimes a rash or heat sensation can occur. If you have a significant case of diabetes, your glucose levels can be affected. Occasionally, a headache can occur or local back pain or pressure sensation from the injection. These all tend to resolve quickly.
