This procedure involves injecting at specific points in the forehead, temple, or back of the head. It is generally well tolerated and can be used for spasmodic muscles and certain special conditions. Ask for leaflets for more details.<\/p><p>Another procedure is the occipital nerve block, which can be very effective in certain conditions.<\/p><p>Sometimes arthritic changes in the neck can cause headaches, and injections targeted at those areas in the neck can be helpful.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-377e591 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"377e591\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5c3d34b text-card__content-heading elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5c3d34b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" id=\"joint-space\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Injection into the joint space and intra-articular injection<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5d91f0b text-card__text elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5d91f0b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>There are special solutions that mimic the fluid inside the joints.

Some of the risks are more frequent that others, such as temporary increase in the pain (pain flare up), soreness at the site of injection, bruises or swellings.<\/p><ul><li><strong>Pain flare up.<\/strong> It is not uncommon to have temporary discomfort after certain procedures. It is commonly observed after thermal rhizotomy. Other procedures such as nerve root sleeve injection can cause temporary pain flare up. A short course of pain medication often settles down these symptoms.<\/li><li><strong>Headache.<\/strong> Risk of developing headache after epidural or nerve root sleeve injections is around 1 in 100 cases. If it happens, few days of rest, hydration and simple pain killers often is sufficient. Come cases may require a repeat of epidural injection to help with the headache.<\/li><li><strong>Temporary numbness.<\/strong> This often occurs due to the local anaesthetics which numbs the nerves. The sensation will return once the local anaesthetics is worn off.<\/li><li><strong>Difficulty controlling bladder and low blood pressure.<\/strong> They may occur after epidural injection. Sometimes you may need intravenous fluid or a temporary catheter. These symptoms resolve by itself once the local anaesthetics is worn off.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6309141 text-card__toggle elementor-widget elementor-widget-tp-accordion\" data-id=\"6309141\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"tp-accordion.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"theplus-accordion-wrapper elementor-accordion   \" id=\"accordion66485c68e8a55\" data-accordion-id=\"accordion66485c68e8a55\" data-connection=\"\" data-accordion-type=\"accordion\" data-heightlight-text    role=\"tablist\" > \n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"theplus-accordion-item\"  role=\"tab\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1031\" class=\"elementor-tab-title plus-accordion-header 0 text-left \" data-tab=\"1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1031\"\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"8\" height=\"17\" viewBox=\"0 0 8 17\" fill=\"none\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M0 0.5L8 8.5L4.66289 11.8371L0 16.5V0.5Z\" fill=\"black\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"8\" height=\"17\" viewBox=\"0 0 8 17\" fill=\"none\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M0 0.5L8 8.5L4.66289 11.8371L0 16.5V0.5Z\" fill=\"black\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span style=\"width:100%\">Rare risks and complications<\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div \n\t\t\t\t\t\tid=\"elementor-tab-content-1031\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix plus-accordion-content 0 \" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1031\"\t\t\t\t\t\t> \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"plus-content-editor\" ><p>It is very hard to give an accurate statistics for each of the below complications. I quote 1 in 2,000 case to be a rare complication. These are:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Infection:<\/strong> At the site of injection or in the body.<\/li><li><strong>Bleeding or haematoma:<\/strong> Sometimes, you may bleed too much and end up having a haematoma which is a blood collection in the tissue. It is important to let us know if you are taking any blood thinning medications, fish oil, or herbal medicine. Taking aspirin is ok, but you may need to stop other tablets prior to the procedure.<\/li><li><strong>Nerve damage:<\/strong> Procedures targeting the nerves can sometimes inadvertently damage them, which might lead to increased pain or numbness. Unintended nerve damage is relatively rare.<\/li><li><strong>Medication reactions:<\/strong> Pain management often involves medications that could cause allergic reactions or side effects in some patients.<\/li><li><strong>Injury to the lung:<\/strong> Some procedures are done very close to the lungs. Inadvertent puncture of the lung can cause lung collapse needing other treatments and staying at hospital for a period of time.<\/li><li><strong>Complications from anaesthesia:<\/strong> While it is generally safe, there are inherent risks associated with its use, such as breathing difficulties or allergic reactions. Serious complications from anaesthesia are rare, because a thorough pre-assessment is conducted allowing us to minimise the risk.<\/li><li><strong>Limited effectiveness:<\/strong> Not all treatments will work equally well for everyone, and there&#8217;s a chance that a procedure might not provide the expected relief.<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>
