Had Cortisone shot for left shoulder osteoarthritis. Few hours later pain in left arm began. Next day was worse with excruciating pain in arm when arm muscles used even slightly. 48 hours later, pain subsided; but other side effets still present- hot flashes, increased appetitite, sore throat. One week later still having hot flashes, nausea, and now severe muscle spasms in left leg, muscle weakness and palpitations. Sore throat seems worse also- but no sign of cold symptoms.

I also had a cortisone shot for the third time in my left shoulder, first time no real side affects and great relief, this was from a specialist., second time instand hotflash while I was getting the shot and no relief, not the same doctor. Third time same clinic and the hot flashes started emmediately and are still happening now going on three weeks also not great relief from the pain again. Wonder if it is the type of shot and how well the doctor know what he is doing.
