Hi Catra,

So sorry to hear about what happened. You've already had so much to deal with. Anyone would be worried but I'm hoping this is something that will resolve quickly. A quick search of articles turned up these case studies, all of which resolved, two of them in a matter of days. All 3 ended up taking a round of oral steroids and one a combo of steroids and gabapentin. The thought was there was nerve root irritation owing to the position of the needle and underlying compromise in the area. If you don't improve soon it might be worth considering the meds to help get things calmed down. If it were me I would certainly try to get in sooner. They need to answer your questions about this and manage the care you need for the reaction.
