Those who've had them, do you tend to feel awful the next day? So much pressure and discomfort. 2nd injection yesterday and very uncomfortable again

Not that I recall. I had two, both after delivering my babies due to retained placenta. I hated them but don't remember feeling rough.

I have had several l4-l5 injections with no issues. I had a disk bulge. On my last one, I disk was so herniated that it blocked the steroids from flowing on the nerve. It was so horrible I was in surgery almost immediately. But, outside that one, nothing abnormal and pain relief was always welcomed.

Yes. I iced it. That's extra fluid in a small space and it needs to disperse. At first, it can be pretty uncomfortable. After another day or two it's fine.

I get that pressure feeling from my MS and if I don't stay laid back in a recliner, I get a spinal headache. It feels like a horrible migraine but feels better when you're lying down. Sitting up makes you really nauseated. It's awful.
I'd love to get a steroid injection in my back, but I had a spinal fluid leak after a spinal tap.

I needed a blood patch after mine because the epidural was placed too deep and I had an air bubble in my spine. I couldn't sit up or stand up without becoming violently ill and the pain in my head was crushing.
