A member asked:
I had an epidural over a week ago and my left foot is completely numb still is that normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Answer: No, not normal, as most people do NOT get a numb foot following an epidural steroid injection. Suggests that there may be progressive nerve root compression over the past week. This needs aggressive evaluation, and would contact the doctor who performed procedure.
