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?
Hello dear Greetings Regarding your symptoms of gradually mild to severe tingling and muscle spasm with occasional pains following an SI joint infection I am suggesting that you have developed an osteoarthritis with peripheral neuropathy In view of this please do a joint fluid aspiration for culture and do the following test Joint x-ray ESR Blood culture C reactive protein level Serum thiamine level Meanwhile please you physician with the results and for expect clinical assessment and adequate drug prescription I hope this helps
