Hi Jennifer
how are you?

On 15 March 2023 I had the left C6 nerve root injection.

2 days later I started feeling strong pain that I never felt before just starting under C7 to the left.

The pain is chronic, burning with strong pins and needles.
I also feel some numbness and when I sit down I feel that my left foot goes a little numb, it feels tight.

Can the injection have caused this?

I am not managing the pain very well with the meds and I keep waking up constantly during the night.

This has caused me a lot of anxiety because I am not getting relief,

It has been 6 days like this but it is not improving.

Will it improve eventually with time?

Thank you.

Best regards

Alfred
