There are some risks, like infection, nerve irritation, or temporary pain flare-ups, but most people don’t have major issues. After mine, I had a little headache and back soreness, but it settled quickly.

Risks can include pain at the injection site, infection, nerve irritation, or spinal headaches, though serious complications are uncommon when the procedure is performed by experienced professionals. I was quite nervous beforehand, but my procedure at TheWells Clinic went smoothly, and I only experienced mild back soreness afterward.

Epidural neuroplasty can cause temporary pain, headache, numbness, and soreness where the catheter is inserted. Rare but serious risks include infection, bleeding, nerve damage, or spinal fluid leaks.

Potential complications include infection, dural puncture headaches, nerve irritation, or steroid-related side effects like flushing or high blood sugar. Serious issues are rare but possible. When I underwent the procedure, I only had temporary back soreness and fatigue, and it improved after a few days.
