  Good evening. 3 weeks ago I had epidural steroid injections to my spine ( neck herniaC5-c6 ). I started my Physiotherapy week ago. Few days ago I received documents from hospital that I had two injection to my spine one on the 21st March (C5-C6) second one on 29 th March (C6-C7)I knew straight away that something was wrong . I couldn’t walk I felt so much pain . Second injection has been done incorrectly ( wrong place ). I can’t get in touch with my orthopedist (holidays) I completely don’t know what to do with it. It hurts all the time. Should I continue with my physiotherapy or stop it till I will have my appointment with my Physiotherapist(2 nd May 2024) ? Please help

  • Hello,
    I think that it is not normal that you suffer so much. Injection should not be so painfull. I think you should not wait your orthopedist, stop with this physiotherapy and go to the emmergencies to see what's happen.
    Take care

  Hi, I have a small Hernia (L5-S1) which pushes on the sciatic nerve. The pain is now extended to the knee/calf/foot. Which is the specialist I should get in contact with?

  • Hello,
    You should see a neurologist (specialist of the nerves). I think it could be the sciatic nerve that has problem and create the pain sensation in the leg.

  Hello, some years ago i bumped inwards part of Knees together and it was ok after some weeks but now whenever i pull up my lower back i feel a sensation no pain necessarily but i don't understand what it is? Should i see physiotherapist?

  • Hello,
    
    I'm sure that you have to see a physiotherapist. I don't really understand the link between your knee problem and your back, but I think a physiotherapist can help you.
    
    Take care.
