@davidtrevino I had an adverse reaction to an epidural injection. It caused me a new burning nerve pain that stabbed me randomly for about 6 weeks. That's how long it takes for the steroid to be dissolved by the body. I think I was allergic or sensitive to a component in the injection and my guess is that it may have been polyethylene glycol or PEG.

Symptoms seems to be getting better now, but still alittle weak in legs. Hopefully that’s a sign of recovery I had a shot called Depo-Medrol/Dexamethasone. These are 2 different meds, I think it was just the Depo-Medrol. But all in all I’ll soon be seeing my doctor again, hopefully he can share more light into this issue. Thanks for your input though, god bless you and yours
