Had a cortizone shot in the instep of my foot, which I have had every 7 months or so and been great! This time on June 4th, 2008 had the shot again and walked out and my foot became so swollen and painful...went home and iced it but the swelling did go down some with the ice but then began again when the ice was off. In August, my foot was still somewhat swollen an painful when walking and I also have a torn meniscus in the knee of the same leg as the foot problem. Doctor gave me a shot in the knee but the foot is still swollen and painful...doctor says I have arthritis. Wonder if I need another cortizone shot in the foot?

I had a Cortisone shot on the back of my head, I went to the Neurologist for headaches due to past injuries, I had relief on the left side of my head but on the right side it hurts like someone punched me in back of the head, I have had terrible headaches now everyday, fatigue and nausea ever since the shot, I don't recommend it.

i have arthritis in my right knee. my knee cap was chewing up my knee joint causing a grinding and clicking noise.
i got a cortizone shot and it hurt like crazy for about 10 minutes.
20 hours post shot my heart is racing like i was terrified, my knee is swollen, and i am nautious, but the pain is at a minimum. the doctor told me to take it easy though because i still have arthritis. this just lubricates it. but if i exercise too much it could send me right back to square one.
