CERVICAL EPIDURALS AND VISION SIDE EFFECTS
by: John on Tue, May 05 2009

I have had 4 cervical epidurals in the past with zero side effects. I received another one on April 23, 2009. Within a half hour I noticed a distance vision change, and I had flushing for the first time, or a “sunburned” look that disappeared after 2 days. The vision change hasn’t improved and I went to an eye specialist, who diagnosed a nerve problem with my left eye, but he said the change right after the injection was coincidental, which I find difficult to believe. Anyone else had a vision problem after such an injection?
