I have had the SAME EXACT THING!!! The 1st time I had the shots I was at a knee specialist. He stated that it wasn't cortisone but a different med that does the same thing just better for you. Never could pronounce it!!! I started going to my family doctor to get them cause I trust her fully. However I got cortisone shots from her and was okay that evening. Woke up the next day and face was on FIRE, HOT, RED, FLUSHED all the above. BP was 170/102 was ILLLLL to my stomach like in knots and the WORST HEADACHE I have EVER had in my LIFE!!!! I will NEVER EVER do this again its HORRIBLE!!!! I took Benadryl and just knocked my miserable self out. Today is day 3 and I am still red and still major headache!!!!! Your not crazy and your not alone this is from the shots!!!

Thank you for taking the time to let me know your reactions to the cortisone. I had the red flushing face, soft stool, hot and cold flashes, swollen lump black and blue at injection sight, and a north to south element of tightness in relationship to the where the shot was given. I called my medical assistant to update my symptoms. Of course the reaction was oh no, see your GP, it is a bug. Well I raised my voice and she sided with me. Thanks I don't feel so alone. I agree I will not do that again. I will go for a pain killer. I can stop that.
