 Posted: 08/03/06 - 12:08 Post subject: Side effects from a cortisone injection |
  |
|
Yesterday, I was given a cortisone injection in my hip for cronic bursitis. Immediately after the injection, I started feeling slightly woozy, but managed to make it home. I awoke at 1:00 a.m. with tremendous pressure in my ears, difficulty with my balance, and severe nausea. These symptoms have been getting progressively worse. I spoke to the pharmacist, who dismissed me and told me that I am probably getting a cold. I think that's nonsense, and would appreciate any feedback you could provide me.
Thanks,
SAR |

| Well, you can not be allergic on cortisone because it is naturally occurring substance. Corticosteroids have adverse effect to harm immune response, so you could get flu due to that. I would not call it nonsense. Are you on therapy with cortisone or it was just one single injection? If it was mono therapy, it could not cause the flu same day as it was administered. Did you notice kind of reaction at the area where injection was administered? |

|
|
| I had my first cortisone shot administered 7 days ago in my right shoulder. I also felt immediately woozy and nauseated. Increased discomfort in my shoulder (a temporary side effect of the shot) dissipated after 24 hours, but it's been a week and my stomach is still pretty upset. I don't think that what you experienced is nonsense, as I have the same thing going on. Initially, I couldn't understand why the injection would make me nauseated (especially for this long), which is why I didn't call my doctor. I question how it sure feels like an allergic reaction, when it is a naturally-occuring substance in our bodies. |

| I wish I knew how the other people who posted here about Side effects from a cortisone injection progressed. I've had all those so far, it's been 55 hours since I had an injection, nausea, dizziness, and others. I can't sleep the way I did before, I wonder how long these things last. |

| I had a cortisone injection almost 2 weeks ago.. I still have stomach problems and I am 10days late with my period. (I can not get PG anymore bc of tubal.). I also had nausea, and thought I was "coming down with something". My face is swollen, and the initial pain is now returning. |

| Yes, cortisone injection may make you feel nauseous. The simple reason for this is that any anti-inflammatory medication may cause one. Hope this helps!!! |

|
|
| I had a cortisone injection in my upper back. For at least a month afterwards, I was dizzy, severly nauseated, and had a strange pressure in my head. My doctor didn't think these symptoms were related to the injection, but they have finally gone away. I have never been so miserable in my entire life. Never again!! |

Have had several injections for leg pain, the last one on 9/13/06. Two days later I was sooo sick & continued to be sick more days than not until now. After many dr. visits I find I have Irritable Bowel Syndrom. Doing a study on IBS I found that Steroids may cause this. I have never been this sick for so long in my life. NO MORE STEROIDS!!
Except for back pain, I am rearly sick, not even the flu. |

|
|
A WEEK AGO TODAY, MONDAY, MY HUSBAND HAD A CORTISONE SHOT IN THE SCIATICA SECTION OF L4 TO S1
HE IS EXPERIENCING THE FOLLOWING AND IS INCREASINGLY GETTING WORSE:
NUMBNESS IN LEFT LEG
PAIN IN BOTTOM OF FEET
DIZZINESS AND BLURRED VISION
MIGRAIN HEADACHES
AND JUST HAD A NOSE BLEED AS OF FOUR HOURS AGO
IS THIS NORMAL WITH A GENERALIZED SHOT? GOING BACK TO SEE HIS DOCTOR ON TUESDAY. I AM WORRIED THAT IT HASN'T TAKEN TO HELP HIM WITH HIS PAIN AND WON'T WORK.
IS THIS AN ALLERGIC REACTION TO THE STERIOD?
SIGNED,
WORRIED WIFE |
