Cortisone injections for cervical foraminal injections and side effects?
what are the side effects for foramital cervical injections? I am a 49 yr old female with cervical stenosis and osteoarthritis and its been recommended that I have an injection. My concern is weight gain or "blowing up" from the steroids. My pain is not bad now that I am on neurontin (another concern too) so if my pain comes back I will consider the injections but a friend of mine had the injections and weight gain was a big issue for her. Thanks elizabeth

Do injections for dogs hurt the dogs?
Only as much as it would hurt a human. But you have to remember we know why we are getting the injections while some dogs might get confused and therefore scared as they don't understand what is happening. However, they do not feel it if they get the injection in the loose skin at the top of the back just behind the neck, so injections are given there if possible.
