Hi, I've had a series of 3 cervical epidural injections for herniated disks in my neck.  I had first one around end of Sept., 2nd early oct. and then last one Oct. 22.  On Oct. 27th I noticed my face swell, looks almost round!  I have night sweats, never experienced before.  I also have a racing heart when I lay down or resting during day, it's spontaneous, comes with no notice or activity.  I also developed a yeast infection in my mouth!  It's horrible, so I'm taking a liquid nystatin presc. 4 times day - yuck!  My doctor said the face swelling should go away within 2 weeks of last injection, but in my opinion i see no improvement. 

Anyone have advice or know how long the worst of these symptoms last after a series of cortisone injections like I have had?  Thanks so much!
