I have had several series of steriod injections in my neck, lumbar area. I discont them because after all injections within 6/8 hours I had severe flu like symptoms, aches and pains throughout my entirebody, and shakes. I have opted out of injections many years until recently finding a doctor that injects a homeopathic med, tremmil, that does not have the same properties, and I tried it, and it worked really well. But as I went for my second injection, once again I was plagued again with all the same horrible side affects of the steriods. But they had me up for the steriods, and at the last minute I had to remind them that I did the homeopathic tremmil instead. I am just wondering in there could have been a mix up or am I as doomed without another way of relief once again, and stuck with riding the pain out more years. I am really not in to narcotics, been that route, and not interested in going back. I would appreciate any feedback.
