I had a shot of a muscle relaxer, Norflex, into my right buttock for back pain. Initially, I was allergic to it, but the allergy has cleared up. Now, my right leg is stiff and tingly and numb. My doctor thinks the shot was either injected right into my sciatic nerve, or the swelling from the allergic reaction spread to it. How long does the sciatic nerve take to heal?
I've had an EMG of my leg and an CT scan of my low back, everything looked normal.
I now take clonazapam and tramadol for anxiety and back pain, will this also help sciatica?
