I have been dizzy and nauseous following an injection for carpal tunnwl . I now have a headache that won’t stop. Is this an after effect or a councidental bug?
Probably coincidental. We've just published a study of all reported possible side effects after 689 CTS injections. There were 4 complaints of headache, 1 of 'light headedness' and 1 of 'poor balance for a few days' (amongst other things) - all symptoms which are not that uncommon in the general population in any given week.The commonest thing which probably was related to the injection was local pain in the forearm which was seen in 13% of injections, mostly lasting only a few days.

Thanks 😊
I had the injection as well An had no side effects, well to be honest I didn’t even feel like it did anything what so ever so know after 2months from having surgery on my right hand I will be going in to have surgery on my left because it did nothing to help!! Good luck!
