[|AI|]  Hello, In rare cases, there may be a lowering of intracranial pressure after spinal injections mainly due to some cerebrospinal fluid loss. Also, subarachnoidal hemorrhage is a rare but yet possible adverse effect of such manipulations. These adverse effects may cause symptoms similar to yours. Generally, these possible adverse effects are self-limiting and improve with time. In the case of no improvement after a couple of weeks, testing is necessary (such as MRI of the brain and spinal cord for example). Discuss with your Doctor for these issues. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.
