Is It Advisable To Bathe (warm) After Taking Cortisone Injection In Spine?

I had two cortisone injections today at 9:00am, one in my back where my hip meets my spine and one in my sciatic nerve. Do you think it would be okay to take a warm bath? I usually take one every night to help me relax because I have a terrible case of insomnia.

Injection in the spine is a steroid inj to reduce swelling and pain .like other intramuscular injection you can apply hot water bag or electric paid.
It relax your back muscle and increase blood supply in the muscle.
Up to your tolerance level you can do hot foamentation to back.
