I had an epidural steriod injection 12 days ago to treat low back pain/sciatica that I have had for several years. Dr. hit a nerve during the procedure, and to make a long story short, I have continually gotten worse ever since. I have been in ER twice, no results-keep saying time will help. I went to my PCP and she gave me a shot of Medrol and a 21 pill dose pack of the same. (as a side note, I have been prescribed continually stronger pain medicine-7.5 hydrocodone at first, now I am on 7.5 Percocet, and it does not do anything for the pain) The shot of Medrol seemed to help for about a day, then I went back to the same horrible pain that I was in. The Medrol pills do not seem to be doing anything. Now, to add to things, beginning last night, I have started to have extremely bad joint pain in my knees and ankles, where I cannot even walk. I don't know where to turn, If anyone has any advise, I would appreciate it. I have followed up with PMD with no results. Help if you can!!
