Cortisone Acetate and cortisone shots

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!!!

I had an injection into a Bursae about a week and a half ago. My face was hot and bright red for about three days, if i went out in the sun it made it worst almost like i was allergic to the sun. I have had headaches daily, since. Vicodin will not help these headaches, my heartburn was so bad i stopped taking all medicines, birth control, antibiotic, pain meds. My stomach hurt so bad the second night that i could not make a sudden movement. and i couldn't stand straight up. i have been so nauseated, ive thrown up twice, once i was taking a sip of milk to get rid of the side effects and as soon as i swallowed i puked, the second time i just smelled something. i have been bouncing around in the bed all night. and so depressed i need to be committed. my head has hurt so bad many days i don't want to hear my one and a half yr old speak. but i am stay at home mom and i have to do what i have to do. i had told my doctor that i had these effects, but another physician treated me. i told him and he assured me it would be a very small amount. also a my ankles hurt especially, feel like they are gonna snap, as well as all my other joints when i come off of these. someone email me plz *******

I had cortisone shots in my feet yesterday and all day I have been very irritable. I am getting frustrated and angry over the stupid little accidents or things my kids do everyday. I know it is wrong to yell but I just feel so pissed off. Could this be a side effect? I had the shots about 2 months ago and I don't remember if I had this experience then or not. I can't say that I did or I would have questioned it then. I am also suffering a terrible headache and my throat feels sore (could be all that yelling). Also having a harder time concentrating.

I just had cortisone shots in both shoulders for and a one quick shot in my neck muscle for Rheumatoid Arthritis joint issues. My left back muscle under my shoulder blade spasmed about 10 minutes after the shots and proceeded to affect my lung from breathing. It is 8 hours later and I still have issues with my lung breathing - I hope I can sleep. It feels like I have a pulled muscle in the middle of my chest. Also I just got a cramp in my foot. After taking 1 mg Prednisone daily...and shots every 3 months for the last few year - I have never experience muscle cramps. I have had some heady feelings - but that far outweighs the amazing pain relief from the shots. I would like to find another answer to help my pain than any type of cortisone. I am 37 yr old healthy slim woman (other than arthritis).

after my shot for congestion, cough, etc,,,one thing that keeps coming up is hickups. is this a side effect?

thanks
