What a mess! I went in for a steroid injection, and while on the table, the person administering the injection hit something that made me scream. They rushed to the front of the table and told me to breathe, that's when I knew something had gone wrong. When I came home, the next day my legs felt like thousands of pins were sticking into them, and the injection site was swollen.

I called the office, but it was the weekend, and it was several days before i could be seen.  Initially, I had pain on the lower right side of my back, but now it's the left side that's in pain, and I can't stand on my left leg. When I returned, Dr. Blum suggested I might have had a reaction to the medication and said my inability to walk could be due to stenosis. He said he could operate, asked me to decide, and then left the room. What happen, did my stenosis take a turn for the worse during the injection!? As I write this, my anger grows because I still can't walk. How would he feel if he walked into a place and came out unable to walk?  Something went wrong...instead of helping he ran away from what seems to be an error in his procedure.
