Excruciating chronic left side neck pain plus lumbar issues

Hi jm1
thank you for this warning. They haven't told me anything about this.
The doctor told me that he injected anesthetic.
Since 2 days ago I have been feeling more excruciating pain from around T1 hurting (left and right) really badly, as if there is something filling inside the neck. pushing out.
The sides of my neck are extremely sensitive, painful and numb. The same feeling felt in my lumbar area, the legs and the feet. I feel burning pain in my lumbar area.
When I try to bend slightly forward I also feel pain and numbness in the groin, back, legs and feet.
Yesterday I took 2 x Targin 10mg/5mg(Naxolone) because the pain was unbearable. I still felt it. I think something inside is not right. It wasn't like this 3 days ago.
Before, when I stood I hardly had any pain only when I lay down.
Here in Aus is Sunday and I am not sure whether I should call emergency or wait till Monday to call my doctors. Have the injections caused this or was it his fingers pressure when He was pain mapping?

Alfred,
By all means if you feel you need to go to the emergency hospital, then call 911 and go. You have to decide how badly you feel.
In my personal experience, I have had injections that hurt for several days worse. I think Jennifer said she did too. I always ice 20mins on 20mins off and repeat all day long. In my experience I have spent weeks in bed awaiting relief, one time it took 6 weeks of injections and meds. I wrote my meds on a log sheet with date time and dose, so I wouldn't forget when I took something. Esp impt when you are taking higher does of multiple meds. . Prayers for you.
