Advice/Tips
According to the first neuro. I saw he said that my reaction should not have happened. He acted as if I were making it up. So I had to go to my PCP when the pain and swelling got so bad that I was having trouble walking. My PCP said it was from the high dose of steriods.
Specific side-effects
swelling ankles & feet
Pain
Burden
Had to take time off work to go get the injection
