Hi I got a steroid shot today and the hip for bronchitis I did not have leg cramps before the shot and now from the waist down I m cramping I have tried to elevate my legs; doing squats, to set up, to walk and to elevate my legs,I m still in discomfort do the steroids cause this problems?
Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Yes, steroid injection can cause similar symptoms. But more than steroid injection, faulty technique of intramuscular injection appears more in your case. If injection was not given properly, there are high chances of nerve damage and cellulitis. So better to first rule out cellulitis at injection site. So consult doctor and get done clinical examination of injection site.
