Did they do your injection with xray/Flouroscopy? If it hurts for another few hours, I would certainly call your Dr. In the meantime, put some ice on it and take some good strong pain reliever. GOOD LUCK to you.

I am a bit worried as throughout the procedure i think they had a hard time finding the space to inject the steroid into. Could they have hit something?

I've tried ice, and ibphn., and muscle relaxers. still hurt, and the pain med my doc gave me broke me out in hives--ultram.
