What Causes Liver Tenderness After A Steroid Shot?
Hello! Last week I had an epidural steroid injection at the L4-L5 vertebrae area. While it may be too soon to judge the effectiveness of the shot, my liver feels tender whether I am applying pressure or not. Is this just my liver doing its job and filtering out a foreign substance or should I seek medical help from my PP?

Hi,
Thanks for your query.
A single shot of epidural steroid generally does not cause any harm to liver.The discomfort you are experiencing might be either due to your anxiety or some other cause.
Wait for few days.If you still have the problem please consult a general practitioner to find out the exact cause.
Hope this information helps.
