Can A Steroid Injection In Buttocks For Stenosis Cause Sleeplessness?
Q: Can a steroid injection in both buttocks for stenosis cause sleeplessness? I m 83 yrs. and have lower spinal stenosis. The doctor gave me 2 injections of steroids to help with the pain and walking. Since then, I haven t been able to sleep especially at nite.
Hi, Thanks for writing in HCM. It is unlikely to cause sleeplessness. It only causes a feeling of well being which perhaps may lead to excitement and sleeplessness. Regards
