diaphram paralysis

Posted By Charles E. Criswell on August 31, 1998 at 12:15:46:







I had been suffering from an herniated disc and was given a steriod block in
Feb and again in Mar of 1998.  The pain from the injury slowly dissapated
and in May, I discovered my right diaphram was paralized.  I am a non smoker
and attempt to workout regularly but had not done so from the period of Mar
to May because of the discomfort.  Could the steriod block be responsible
for the paralysis and if so is there any remedy?  I am planning a conference
with the doctor who performed the procedure.
Thank,  Ed Criswell
