I am considering allowing my doctor to do a guided epidural injection into my back because the pain is unbelievable. What are some of the side effects that could happen?
As with all medical procedures, an epidural injection has some possible side effects. While this is something you should discuss with your doctor, here are a few:

1 - Infection from the injection

2 - Bleeding from the injection

3 - Piercing of the membrane that surrounds the spine and the spinal nerves
