HELP! sacroiliac joint epidural?

[karenAZ]

Hi, I am new today.  I had a l4-s1 fusion 2 years ago and still suffering from back pain and poor range of motion.  Since December I have had: 2 spinal epidurals (l4-l5), 1 facet block epidural (multiple sites) and then yesterday I had a sacroiliac joint injection with only numbing meds since I have had so many steroids.  I had it done around 4:30 was in tears while I waited my 30 minutes from the pain and pressure in my back.  Woke up this morning with MAJOR pain in the side of my upper thighs.  Feels like someone "deadlegged" me.  I have taken 20mg of percocet in the last 6 hours  and have iced my legs.  It hurts to lay down, sit down, move or walk.
Does anyone have any clues/advice....waiting on Doc to call.
Thank you

still in pain, Sunday am now.  Got to the point that just walking was killing me yesterday.  My lower back is so swollen right now....I am very confused with the whole thing.  I see a new doc tmrw (a spine one) hopefully he can help figure all of this out!

thanks for your help and concerns

There's a couple of members over in the Pain Management Community that have a lot of experience with SI joint dysfunction and injections. Here's the link:

Aww hun that's not at all a pleasant experience. I've never had a sacroiliac joint injection, just spinal injections and had different reactions to both. Never what u've experienced. I'm sorry I can't be of any help, let me know what the dr says and I'm glad ur icing ur leg. I wish u the best, pain can be very debilitating!!! *hugs*
