Steroids make other meds not work and slow healing. I have back issues, had many of the injections. I take many of the same meds. (vic, statin, valium). Out of all of this steroids stick out to me. Suggest massage, relaxation/meditation and lower stress. I do MUCH better when resting and stopping typing when shaking. So sorry my reply is short, hope it helps.
Suggestions? Try another steroid/cocktail next time; call the doc and TELL him and ask. I'm so sorry to hear this happened.

The other day he stiffened up and jerked himself out of a chair and backward onto the floor!
Meds include:
45 mg Remron
20 mg Adderall
10mg Vicodin 6x daily, for Degenerative Cervical disc issues
Statin
3mg Valium 3x daily
Also of note--had cervical steroid injection 6/15/12;-seemed to go okay.
Has anyone had any similar experience?
What did your Dr. do?
Many thanks in advance.
