FAQ: OPM FAQs

If I receive an injection, do I need a driver?

It is recommended that you have someone available to drive you after having an injection. Most of our injections should leave you feeling as good or better as when you walked in. However with some of our injections we may have numbed your entire arm or leg causing weakness for several hours making it unsafe for you to drive. In addition to this, if you were prescribed Valium to take prior to an injection it would be unsafe to drive. It is impossible to know what kind of treatment you will need and receive on the day of your appointment so it is always better to have a driver with you if possible.
