Steroid Injections In Lower Back

[worrier]

I had 2 steroid injections just over a week ago in my lower back for protrusions in L4 and L5 and ever since I have had a bloated abdomen, it doesn't hurt just very uncomfortable, anyone know can this be a side effect as no one at the hospital mentioned this...

No, I have never come across that complication before following that type of pain relief.
One presumes that you are passing water normally.

Yes...I had a stumble and fell after I had the injections, hurt my side, thought it was my ribs but my liver was tender when doc put pressure so perhaps bruised my liver, then my abdomen swelled up, I have had bloods taken and I got to have a ultrasound scan but no one has said why my abdomen is so bloated. I am not in any pain, but if I get anxious it seems that my liver expands if that makes any sense...
