I had a steroid block yesterday to help with pain for bulging disc at the L4-L5, S1 and stenosis. My throat is very dry and am hoarse when I talk; I also have hiatal hernia. Could the shot cause these symptoms? Also, I stayed awake all night. Thanks
Hi, Unlikely to cause Chat Doctor.  Epidural (spinal) steroid injection procedures are generally considered to be safe procedures. However, the risks of spinal steroid injections include localized bleeding, infection, pain, inflammation of the meninges, nerve injury or paralysis, headache, or muscle weakness.
