What Causes Lower Leg Twitching Long After Steroid Injection?

I had a steroid injection in the soft tissue in my hip in an effort to calm inflammation in my glutes. This was over a month ago. I started having lower leg twitching and my Doc said that was a side effect and will go away. I told me this a week ago and they are still occurring. How long will this continue?

Hello,

Unfortunately, there is no exact time to say regarding the continuation of the leg twitching. I'd recommend to keep regular follow up with neurologist and take magnesium supplement.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
