Hello I asked this question in a post, but figured I would share here as well:
This is about the Demerol shot from the ER. Well, I had one in my right butt (higher into the hip region) about 2-3wks ago for a chronic migraine. After the shot, I felt fantastic other than an overwhelming heat sensation in my chest. I came home and went right to bed - it was late. The next morning, my lower right leg hurt really bad - felt like my muscle was balled up or as if I were working out for hours and hours. That lasted about 5days then it moved to not just my lower leg but also to my upper leg. My upper leg felt dull achy - that lasted about 2 days. Now since then, my entire leg is having shooting pains, my lower back is getting sharp pains shoot across it. My husband said it sounds like she hit a nerve. I'm not too sure what to think anymore.. does this warrant another visit to the ER? I am nervous about doctors anymore as you can tell I have been avoiding them for 2-3wks. LoL. Btw, I'm only 24 years old and female. If you have ANY information about this - (I've looked on the net, with no help) I'm at a loss right now. Beside myself to say the least. Thank you.
