Darn right: Get checked now! evidence suggests that lots of steroid cases were contaminated with fungus or other agents that could produce inflammation of the brain. Early detection and treatment is essential. Go to your primary doctor and get fully evaluated - now!

Yes: You should contact the doctor who gave you the injection to find out which company made it. Then contact your primary care physician to be evaluated. If you got a bad injection you need treatment immediately.
