I'm really surprised that more of us haven't had trouble with steroid injections, as anything that is iinjected into the spinal canal can cause infections and big problems. That's one reason that I refused to have any more, besides the fact that they weren't workiing. The doc wanted to try more of them, but I said NO> He didn't particularly like that, but i didn't particularly care.

From what I read, it could also cause arachnoiditis too, which is an incurable condition!!

I just hope everyone is ok. God bless & take care. Hugs, Lee
