numbness on left side of body
by skm1030, Sep 26, 2008 07:50PM
I have had cervical spine problems and have had epidural steroid injections in the past. I was having pain on the right side of my kneck and my right shoulder started having severe pain. My family doctor I had started going to in a different state sent me to a pain management doctor for an injection and the next day I had a bad headache and numbness in my left side, from the middle of my stomach around to the middle of my back. He just gave me some Tizanidine and a headache prescription, which didn't help. My family doctor then gave me a steroid pack and after a week it has still not helped. No one seems to care about how to help me. What can I do.

Thanks for writing in.
It is important to know as to what kind of cervical spine problems do you have. If your symptoms are continuing even after epidural injections and steroid packs it is time to reevaluate the condition of your cervical spine.
It is difficult to tell without a clinical exam. Please undergo a complete neurological exam. Take care!
