I recently had an lumbar epidural injection and ever since I had it, my port has been hurting me and it just doesn't stop. I wonder if the steriod medication could have caused a problem. I'm just wondering if anyone else had a problem with something like this. Any help into this would be great. It's strange, the lap band has been around for almost 10 years or so and so many doctors are still not sure about the problems it could cause.... Thanks guys!!!
