SI Joint injection

Can somebody please tell me if you have had an si joint injection with flouroscopy.  The weird thing is my leg feels weird.  Not sure how to describe it.

Can anyone help me with this.

Thanks you

I had my injection this Wed. It's been 48 hours. The hips where hurting and I started draging my leg a little bit before the shot. The med. has not kicked in yet. So the weird feeling I am having in the leg, kinda feels numb kinda circulation is cut off are something. I didn't do the ice on the injections part??? Have you ever heard of that.
The Doctor office is so busy I can hardly get them to even call back.
Please tell me what you know and think.

Marilyn do you suffer from chronic sacrolitiis? I do and have not done any injections yet but have been offered.

I have an autoimmune disease called Ankylosing Spondylitis. If causes inflammation in the SI joints. Additional it can cause the spine and SI joints to fuse. I get enthesitis is multiple tendons. I take a biologic medication by injection every 3 weeks to combat this disease. Normally I do fairly well. However, I got ill in December, was hospitalized, and any stressful experience on the body causes me to "flare."

I have had injections performed by two different doctors. Both have instructed me to ice the injection 20 minutes out of every hour the day of injection. The reason is to lessen the possibility of bleeding and/or swelling where the lidocaine/steroid solution was placed.

I suspect this might be part of the issue, a little more swelling thereby putting more pressure on the nerve. Since you have diffuclty reaching the doctor and the weekend is upon us, I would be careful not to overdo it this weekend, keep the leg up several times a day, and see if there is any gradual improvement. However, if you begin to experience any increased numbness, call the emergency number on the discharge paper you were given, ok?

I will check back here in an hour, then tomorrow, to see if you have more questions or concerns.

Sometimes the steroid injections into the SI joints don't provide much relief. However, it sounds like it didn't do a thing for you so I doubt that it is the SI joint.

Marilyn, have they done a MRI of your pelvis and lumbar spine? I would ask as it would likely be the best tool to get an idea of what is causing your pain and apparent nerve issues. Actually, if the doctor is hesitant to order it, insist! Don't let them let you suffer and lose strength while they make stabs in the dark.
