Good morning, unfortunately I don't know Polish, I'm from Ukraine. They did a blockade, Depo-Medrol, on the spine, 1.5 days ago.
Terrible pain, my right leg cramps, then pain... There is no connection with the doctor, he is a trauma surgeon, he works in a hospital, there are many soldiers, many operations... Advise how to at least relieve cramps and pain. Thank you very much for your attention.

In the event that pain and muscle spasms persist, I encourage you to consult a doctor urgently. You may need to use stronger, prescription medications to relax your muscles or relieve pain. You can also take advantage of a teleconsultation via e.g. the Gdziepolek.pl portal:

Until you consult your doctor, you can use one of the painkillers available in online and stationary pharmacies. Choosing the offer of an online pharmacy allows you to compare prices and order the preparation with home delivery or personal collection at the pharmacy of your choice.
Analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs should be used after the Depo-Medrol injection for the shortest possible time in the lowest possible effective doses due to the increased risk of side effects such as gastrointestinal bleeding. You can read more in the opinion:
A safer choice will be to use one of the preparations with paracetamol, such as:
