So angry. got injection with steroid now must worry about meningitis. for how long?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not that difficult: Call your physician who gave you the injection. They have records of where the drug came from. Ask specifics: what manufacturer? Expiration date? Dose? Name brand? Correlate this with information from the fda on the infected steroid manufactured in massachusetts and it should help you ease your mind.
