Sacroiliac steroid injection
by efeistie1, Aug 01, 2007 09:54AM
I had an epidural injection in my S.I. joint several years ago due to back pain. The injection was the most painful thing I've ever experienced. It was done at the hospital following a CT scan to locate the SI site. Felt like a hot knife entering my spine. A follow-up MRI indicated fluid filled SI joint on the right side. Could the injection have damaged a nerve, thus creating more problems than it fixed. To this day, I think that the injection was done incorrectly and damaged the nerve of the SI joint as I have had more constant pain than prior to the procedure. Anyone else experience this type of situation? Also, the MRI showed something called 'Tarlov' cysts on both sides of my spine.......Ellie
