my husband has lower back pain and numbness. he received 2 epidural steroid injections in a 2 week period and he is now up every hour on the hour at nite having to urinate.
He also has a sore tongue. I wanted to know are these side effects from the injections or is this somethng we need to go to the
Doctor about.
I have had the injections and had dry sore mouth and frequent urinations and a salty taste in mouth and finally it was so bad I went to emergency room and it was caused from steriods in injections and the steroid packet. MY mouth is better and also I was told to not drink over 2 liters of liquid a day. Be careful. the doctors said that they had patient that almost died from steroid injections.
