Cortisone shots and Tingling

by Joshua Jones
(Rockville Maryland )

I just got a cortisone shot in the back of my right thigh.. I had surgery on my sciatic nerve in May 4,2010.

I was wondering if the Cortisone shot I got in my right leg could cause tingling on my right arm and hand..?

Hello Joshua,

Nope, I very much doubt if a cortisone shot in the leg could have anything to do with the tingling in your arm and hand.

Likely you have a cervical facet syndrome, possibily a disc injury or thoracic outlet syndrome. Muscular conditions in the shoulder can also sometimes cause tingling.

What's needed is a good thorough Chiropractic exam to find the source of your troubles. Even a carpal tunnel.

Plug these terms into the SEARCH at Chiropractic Help, and you'll find lots of info.

One spinal op is more than enough! Try Chiropractic this time.
