Yeah, it's all over the news. Some had the shots as long ago as July, I believe. The med was compounded.

The steroid, preservative-free methylprednisolone acetate, was manufactured by the New England Compounding Center in Framingham, Mass., and the three lots have now been recalled.
But the CDC and the FDA are now advising doctors � "out of an abundance of caution" -- to avoid all products made by the company and to retain and secure them until further notice.
The recalled lots of methylprednisolone acetate are:
Lot #05212012@68, BUD 11/17/2012 Lot #06292012@26, BUD 12/26/2012 Lot #08102012@51, BUD 2/6/2013

.Not to worry you, but your Dr saying that they use First Rate Materials means nothing in the bigger scheme of things. It's a B.S. answer.
Tell them you have been feeling weird since you got the shot and you need specific info such as the lab and lot # where they got the meds they injected you with.
If they are still evasive, I would go to the E.R. and explain your situation, and I'll bet they will find out for you. This is your life.

My elderly parents have both been having shots in their spines for months. I'm pretty sure the stuff came from the compounding pharmacy in MA.
I have insisted that they go on Monday and demand to know the lot numbers that have been used on them.
