A member asked:
Had 2 epidural steroid injections a few hours ago on the left side at l4/5 and l5/s1. my left foot was numb initially, but it went away. now my foot feels like it's asleep again, and it isn't going away. do i need to be concerned about this?

Call pain doc: Without knowing the original reason for injections or other health status, hard to say why the numbness returned. Call the injecting doc as soon as possible, report this event and learn the recommended plan
