Pain Medications

How long until the side effects from injections wear off???
I'm not looking for medical advice only opinions so tell me what you think ok. On 1/18 I had injections of Decardon 10mg, DepoMedrol 80mg, and Norflex 60mg. I have had trouble breathing (feeling like I can't get enough air), dizzy, chest pain, weakness ever since. I swear I just feel so bad I don't know what to do. Has anyone ever had this happen? I just "don't feel right at all" if you know what I mean? I'm assuming the injections are causing it anyway.
Thanks,
Debbie

You should contact your doctor. The problems you are describing are not normal and should be assessed by your doc.

I agree. Either get a hold of the dr or if you feel its not geting beter just worse then dont be afraid to go to er and have someone drive you there if you feel you are having serious side affects, Best wishes, hopefuly it gets beter,
L4 L5 disc replacement in 2004=causing nerve damage'Flexicore disc. 2006 fusion same level leaving adr in. Fusion did nothing to releive the nerve pain.Pain clinic=every injection procedure avalable inc,razadamy, ablation, nerve stimulater trial,morphine pump trial all failed. Pain can be described as burning pain in lower spine penetrating in to left buttock,down left leg. Refuse to take lyrica or nuorontin do to its side effect,Leaving me with norco,valume,and flexiril at night.Which these medications only help with the muscle aches and stiffnes does nothing for the nerve pain from the nerve damage sustained from the adr surgery.Coming up nov.19th 2009 Lami, and hardware removal from fusion,for hardware just causing more pain in other areas.Hardware block comfirmed hardware is also causing pain in diferent area aside from the severe nerve pain on left side.Emg showed some posible problem above surgery are at L3 L4.
I hope you're doing alright and get checked out. Saying a prayer...Charry
Any answers I have is not medical advice only a Doctor can help you with that. Just sharing my personal experience as a fellow Spine Health member only. DDD of lumbar spine with sciatica to left hip,leg and foot. L4-L5 posterior disc bulge with prominent facets, L5-S1 prominent facets with a posterior osteocartilaginous bar. Mild bilateral foraminal narrowing Neck-reverse Lordosis of c-spine C6-C7 with impingement, numb hand and sore outer elbow. Keep the faith.
I think I'm doing better today. They also gave me a Baclofen and I didn't take any today and have felt a little better. Think that may have been the 'culprit'...you think? Anyway, I'm breathing easier thankfully. I was beginning to wonder. Scary feeling there!
Thank you "C", Alex, and Charry. I appreciate you guys. I'm glad I have you all to turn to when in need.

The check is in the mail. Maybe even a bonus since you all listen and help much more than some doctors do.
