I had an epidural injection in L5-S1 yesterday morning. This morning I was doing pretty well, and then I fell this afternoon. I fell flat on my belly from two steps up onto carpet. My back started hurting a lot more shortly after and now I have a moderate headache that I can't get rid of with lots of brain zaps. Google isn't giving me anything but I might not be using the right words. Help?

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear this. That's all you needed, huh?

I hope you can get a good sleep and that tomorrow you wake up with no more repercussions.

I forgot the question! Lol Anyone know if I should be worried? The brain zaps are awful when I sit or stand.

I agree with Ljm2014. If I'm unsure about anything 'medical,' I always feel better after talking to a nurse or doctor. Maybe there's something like a nurse's help line in your local hospital/clinic you could call today.

Feel better soon!
