CONCERNING RISKS/SIDE EFFECTS OF PAIN MANAGEMENT/SPINAL INJECTIONS

The procedures we offer at Georgia Pain Specialists, LLC are safe generally speaking, and are administered by a triple board-certified pain specialist and anesthesiologist who has been in the field for over 25 years. As with any medical procedure, however, there are some side effects which may occur. The most common and usually temporary side effects include pain and soreness or bruising at or around the injection site. Some uncommon/rare risks and side effects include increase in blood sugar in diabetics, water retention, weight gain, suppression of the body’s own natural production of cortisone, and worsening of symptoms. Extremely rare side effects/complications include possible infection, risk of spinal puncture with headaches, nerve damage, and bleeding inside the epidural space.

INFORMATION WE NEED PRIOR TO TREATMENT

It’s important for the success of treatment and for your own safety that you advise us of all of the following items prior to undergoing spinal injections: 

  • ALL MEDICATION ALLERGIES, ESPECIALLY TO ANY ANESTHETIC, ANTI-INFLAMMATORY, OR STEROID AGENT.  
  • PLEASE ADVISE US IF YOUR MEDICATION REGIMEN INCLUDES ANY BLOOD THINNERS, SUCH AS COUMADIN, PLAVIX, ASPIRIN, ETC. PLEASE PREPARE A COMPLETE LIST OF ALL MEDICATIONS PRIOR TO YOUR INITIAL APPOINTMENT. 
  • PLEASE ADVISE US OF ANY INFECTION IN ANY PART OF YOUR BODY BEFORE RECEIVING ANY INJECTIONS. 

Any specific questions regarding risks of treatment or treatment for your condition can be addressed to our office via phone, or with the physician on your initial appointment.

Thank you and we look forward to working together!

I was referred to Dr. Howard Williams by Dr. Chris Clare, a neurosurgeon in Atlanta. Dr. Clare told me Dr. Williams was one of the most qualified pain specialists in the area. Dr. Williams has kept me pain free without having to take opioid/narcotic medications.

I love Dr. Williams. I sustained a work-related injury years ago which affected both my neck and my lower back. Dr. Williams’ treatment plan has always worked for me, and the injections he gives really work for pain relief.

Dr. Williams is my favorite doctor. He is very sweet and extremely caring. My treatment plan with his office has allowed me to lead a more active and productive life. Without him, I could not do everyday activities due to the severity of my spinal pain.

I was injured at work in 1993 when I was crushed by 5,300lbs of steel. I have had 3 back surgeries since then, the last of which was 11hrs 58mins long. The neurosurgeon who did my last operation had a high regard for Dr. Williams. I have treated with Dr. Williams for 22 years now.

Before my treatment plan with Dr. Williams, I could barely rest, let alone get around to do daily tasks and errands without excruciating pain. With the spinal injections I get, I can function better and rest better. I rely on my treatment at Georgia Pain Specialists to help relieve and manage my chronic pain.

I began seeing Dr. Williams in August 2000. He is the one doctor that I can always trust to help me with my low back pain. I recommended Dr. Williams to my best friend. We ride to our appointments together often and he loves Dr. Williams just as I do.

I had prior surgery on my low back, and continued to have pain throughout the years. I can call Dr. Williams and he will see me with very little notice. His spinal injections have always been effective. I recommend him highly. The last injection I received in 2016 did wonders for me.

When I had a spinal injury in 2002, I was without heath insurance and without hope. I was unable to continue my work as an independent contractor and even had thoughts of taking my own life. Dr. Williams' treatment literally saved my life. My pain abated, and I was able to return to work and support myself.
