Are Tingling And Muscle Spasms Normal After Bilateral SI Joint Injections?

Hi I received Bilateral SI Joint Injections this morning around 7:30am. I have not had much pain, just some here and there throughout the day. At around 4pm my left leg began to have small muscle spasm. By 7pm both legs began to have spasms and tingle like they were asleep. It has gotten worse since then. Is this normal?
