@nemo1 I did have a bad reaction to a cervical epidural injection, and I believe I was allergic to something in the mixture. I believe it was PEG (polyethylene glycol). It caused me to have very sharp electric burning pains that randomly shot down my arm into my hand for about 6 weeks. No more. No thank you.

How horrible! Now I’m having sharp jabs tender and painful areas swelling. Problem areas are worse. Is there anything they can do to stop the bad reaction? Should i be calling the dr or wait til follow up appointment on 21st?
I just called the pm dr to see if its a bad reaction to shot. To get a call back.

Wow Jennifer! I have heard of this in the FB groups I'm on for people with primary immune deficiencies. I also saw a story in the NYT's about a man who found out he was severely allergic to PEG when he tried using colonoscopy prep kits. I'm sorry you found out through an epidural. I understand that the compound is found in a huge array of products.
