Common Questions About Pain Management Treatment
It’s understandable that you’d have questions about your pain management treatment. Below, we answer a few of the most common questions we get.
What Can You Expect After Your Pain Management Procedure?
You may experience significant pain relief soon after the procedure, but it’s possible that it could take up to 2 weeks. Some patients experience a slight increase in their pain for a few days.
What are the Main Side Effects of Using Steroids?
Steroids may result in a temporary increase in blood pressure and blood sugar. Some patients experience temporary weight gain, while patients who undergo repeated injection are at an increased risk for osteoporosis. For the first 2 weeks after the injection, you’re at increased risk for opportunistic infection.
Are There Other Possible Side Effects from Your Procedure?
Unfortunately, it’s possible that interventional pain management may not relieve your pain. Any spine procedure carries a small risk of neurological injury, and injury to the spinal fluid sac can result in severe headaches (spinal headaches). These may require additional procedures.
