Hi, I had 3 sciatic cortisone injections done (once every two weeks intervals). I experienced side effects like: I had my period for one month and irritability; then after the second shot my face, the space between my collar bone y and shoulder and around my neck swelled up and for a while I felt my throat was swelling as well. I took Benadryl every time and it helped with the swelling in throat but not with the rest. My Dr. does not accept that it is related to the injection however it slept off his mouth that he has never seeing it last this long and that there is nothing I can do about it. Its being almost 2 month and my face and the rest of the swelling is still there.
Have any of you reacted this way to the shot , how long did the side effect last and what did you do to get rid of the swelling? I'm desperate to know!! Thanks.
