What is the cause of pain in leg when on cortisone injection?
Patient: My right foot has mortons nuromas, and my foot doctor fitted me with crthodic. Pain was still bad and he gave me injection cortisone , told him was having leg pain, 4days later foot feels fine but dull ache in leg. Should i give it more time or see my M.D. Doctor: Hi, since the pain is in the leg which is different from the pain in the foot that you had before, I would be concerned particularly about a blood clot in the leg. Maybe its just muscular pain but I would like to be sure its not a clot- this can be easily excluded by an ultrasound of the veins in the leg. Since this is a specialized test that needs a physician to order and interpret it, I would recommend that you give a call to your MD. Please let me know if that was helpful. Thanks!
