What to Expect After the Sacroiliac Joint Injection Procedure?
After the sacroiliac joint injection procedure, you will typically be observed at our pain management center for about 20-30 minutes for observation purposes. You may already find some pain improvement during this recovery period. Some potential side effects of the sacroiliac joint injection technique include numbness, weakness, or an odd feeling in the leg for a few hours following the injection. Some patients may notice a slight increase in pain for several days due to the needle injection itself. You may be asked to record your pain scale during the next week and provide that information to our physician at follow-up visit. You can find out if the sacroiliac joint steroid injection technique will help your acute or chronic pain condition by contacting our interventional pain management center. Our pain management physicians are focused on providing the best possible care for you.
