It sounds as if you might have had an ESI. (When in doubt, ask the doc
). It's great that - whatever the injection was - it has offered you some pain relief, so far.
If you do feel an increase in pain, it is likely temporary and will subside in about 4 to 14 days.
It's not unusual to feel worsening of symptoms for a time following an injection - even with corto.steroids (sp?) - done within an office setting, and it's something I didn't know when I had my first injection (some years ago). But, it will pass.
Just take it easy and rest ... as needed
. I know you've probably read that plenty, and... it is true. It does help.

What is SCI and SD? 
Oh, and I finally made it to the PM yesterday and think it went well. He gave me a steroid injection (is this an ESI?) and if that is not effective, we will go deeper and deeper until we find the biggest source of pain. I think it already has taken away about 50% of the pain so far
Then just the increase in Oxy for my MS pain (which is the worst!), and have to live with that  |
