Had cortisone shot two days later had severe pain in Heart (not chest) lasted no longer then 60 seconds. Pain grew intensity started at 1 and went to about an 8. Thought I was going to dye. Pain was horrible. Went away as fast as it came. About 5 minutes later got in car to go to work 3pm. 5 miles down the rd, arches of both feet started itching and tingling really bad, had to take shore off to itch, fingers then started tingling and itching too. Anus also started itching, thank goodness not bad, had hemmoriods removed two years ago. Made it to work, Caregiver, could not work still itching and tired, head dizzy, weakness, waited two hours before I could drive home. Was ill all weekend, heart started beating irregular, now it is worse. Told Doctor, she said I had anxiety attack and gave me another shot. Heart got worse, swelling of feet and fingers, depression, dizzy, really sad. Christmas time and could not shop because I was too tired and fatiqued. Went into hospital, potassium level low was ok before, irregular heart beat worse, heart hurts all the time, fatiqued all the time, short of breath, dizzy a lot. Cannot do the things I used to do. Cannot sleep on my back, have to sleep in recliner or wedge pillow, cannot stand having weight on my chest especially on my heart. Have to go slow, been 1year 2 months now and doc said it would go away after 7 months, another one of her patients had this happen to him and she said he was better in 7 months. Doctors say I will have to live with it now. I say no.
