Default anyone know why arm pain is much worse after steroid injection?

Hi, posted about having a cervical steroid injection and while it has finally helped my neck maybe 50% (that horrendous pain has subsided) my left arm and fingers are in so much pain, I had a little pain before the injection but this is now much worse, also numbness/tingling in my left knee and ankle.

Called the Dr who gave the injection and he said all of this has nothing to do with the injection.....it only all started after the injection though.

I am so frustrated/upset not knowing what to do, I do feel my Dr waited and waited to get anything done, had to practically beg for an MRI which did show problems.

I am going to see a new Dr but am worried, what do I say, what do I ask for??

Don't want to come across like I'm trying to tell them their job but I feel something else needs to be done here.

I'm back in PT but it's not really helping. Among other things(loss of lordosis, DDD) I have a herniated disc at C7-T1, the "steroid" Dr said it's pressing on the C7 nerve.

Now with this new and awful pain it's upsetting and I just feel no one is taking this seriously

Any thoughts or suggestions greatly appreciated, thank you.
