Hello,
An ultrasound-guided lumbar facet joint injection was recommended using the following compounds.
40 mg of Depomedrol
5 – 7 cc of 1% Lidocaine
2 cc omnipaque
Can you please let me know if these are safe while breastfeeding, if I will need to postpone breastfeeding (& how long) and how long the compounds might be going into my breastmilk and will expose my daughter to them? I have a 14 month old daughter who is a picky eater with solids and probably gets ~75% of her nutrition from breastmilk.
In the interim (before the injection), topical 1% Voltaren gel was recommended. Is this safe while breastfeeding if using up to 2-4gm TID?
Thank you!
