Injections are rarely used for pain relief. However, in certain cases, these injections are recommended, usually, when the pain is severe and other treatment options have failed to relieve the pain. Injections are made directly to the affected area. Most of these injections can be done while the patient is still awake without the need for general anesthesia unless it is done in a delicate region.

Pain relief injections are corticosteroid injections in fact. Corticosteroids are a powerful anti-inflammatory medication that works as a fast pain reliever in cases when the pain is caused by an inflamed muscle, tendon, bursa or joint. When administrated by a pain management specialist, they are a safe treatment option and do not cause any complications or side effects.

However, in certain cases, like any other treatment procedure, pain relief injections can cause side effects and complications.

Possible side effects and complications include:

• Infection
• Allergic reaction to the medication used
• Neurologic injuries if the needle hits the spinal cord like in cases of cervical epidural steroid injections
• Headache,
• Bleeding if you are using blood-thinning medications, etc.
