After receiving 3 epidurals for a herniated disc I have gained approx. 11 lbs. in 5 weeks. Could the epidurals have this side effect? If so, will the weight eventually come back off?

Hi...... I just started a series of 3 injections for my back.......... have had 2 so far and gained 2-3 pounds. I'm really watching what I'm eating, but that doesn't seem to help. Hopefully the 3 injections will help the back and I can start exercising again and get the weight off quickly

I just had my 7th epidural in 2 yrs. I have gained 20 lbs. I exercise
and watch my diet. I would be interested to have what others are
experiencing. Also, how to get the weight off. Is it possible if one continues
to get epidurals for pain?
