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.

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