Side effects of Epidural Steroid Injections

Would like to know if there is any side effects from steroids injections for Bursitis of the hip? Thanks Carolyn

Has anyone experienced elevated white blood cell counts of 14 or more for more than 3 months after their last epidural steroid injection?

Is sildenafil (Viagra) something that should be avoided before an epidural steroid injection? I can't find it on any lists of drugs to avoid, but I have read that it is a blood thinner.

A week after epidural my whole face on the left side had stroke like symptoms. They told me it was a side effect of epidural due to elevated cranial fluid. Now, after six months my face on 1 side shifted and it is swollen again. What to do?

I had epidurals in 2018 and to this day-December 2022- I have severe spasms at night, that start around the injection area and extend to my head and feet. Nothing has helped but oral steroids, that I don't want to take anymore. Muscle relaxers don't do anything...

I have been wanting to look up this as I don't sweat all the time. I've been noticing that when I do, it's around the time I get these ESI injections.
Someone told me they thought it could be menopause. I thought I was going crazy with the profuse sweating, especially at night! I too have to change my cloths as when I get up in the middle of the night, I'm soaked! I have to change my clothes and put a towel or bed pad down so not to feel all the soaked areas of my sheets.
I wasn't sure what was making me sweat. I also sweat during the day too. I can deal with it more during the day then at night. I don't have the issue with my hands sweating or my feet. The ESI doesn't always work. It's trial and error or whatever it is. I feel better knowing that it is most likely being caused by the injections. I had a total hysterectomy when I was 37. I didn't have or go through menopause like others people have.
