What do I need to do after my EPI Procedure?

  • Any medications that you stopped, you can now resume

  • Ice the injection site 20-30 minutes at night for any discomfort or pain

  • Avoid heat such as heated pads, hot tubs, sauna, and baths for 3 days after injection. This may cause inflammation and pressure at the injection site. (Showering is OK)

  • Drink lots of water.  KEEP HYDRATED!

  • Light walking is encouraged 3 days after injection. This can help spread the medication

  • Take it easy the first couple of days following the EPI Procedure


Most importantly, listen to your body.  It is normal to have pain and or discomfort for up to 2 weeks after the injection. If the pain is severe or unbearable, please seek medical attention or go to the emergency room.
