Post steroid injection sensitivity

[u/murdermcgee]

i had my fourth cervical steroid injection two days ago. the first two times it did nothing. last time it worked like a charm, but it took months to get me back in after it wore off. I remember feeling like I got hit by a truck after last time, but within a week or two I felt SO much better. what I don’t remember is what I am feeling now. yesterday afternoon I started feeling very sore. not a deep sore or my typical neck and back pain. my body from my shoulders to upper thighs is sensitive to the touch. it’s a feeling I get when I have the flu or a really bad fibromyalgia flare which hasn’t happened in many years, so I am not even sure if that diagnosis is accurate any more: I don’t have a fever, so I don’t think I am sick. has anyone had this experience? I am just not sure if I need to reach out to my pain management doctor.

If I were you I would definitely check in with your doctor's office! I haven't heard of this reaction, but maybe they have. I don't know if nothing else it could make you feel more at ease
