He is the SI joint guru. Question tho. I have never had this happen before, but this time I feel like the cortisone injections left me feeling highly anxious and agitated. Is this a legitimate side effect?
CL,

I wonder if this is a side effect of your increased pain after your SI injection. Pain is often manifested as being anxious and agitated. I hope you start to find some relief and I'm glad to hear they care enough to have you go in this week. I wish you the very best.
