I had a reaction after having a cortisone shot on Wednesday. I felt euphoric and extremely happy Wednesday night, then Thursday morning I felt like I had come down with the flu.. influenza, the big one.  Aches, fever, the works. By that afternoon my face was beet red and swollen and hot. Today, Friday, my face is still a little red and hot but the fever and aches are gone. I've had 2 other cortisone shots in the past 10 years and had no reaction to them whatsoever.. what happened?? Anybody have a clue?

Your body develops reactions across time. No one dies the FIRST time they get stung by a bee.  The hists have to multiply and be waiting to go off for next exposure.  The swelling throat/tongue is anaphylaxis and you need to always have epipen with you. I'm sure they told you that.

Im all over that one! Being in "chronic pain: steroids are the first thing they hand out. After 6 years of agonay as surgieres I found out that I was allerfic to all steroids. Even the eye drops that were given to me after surgery. That was a real screaming headache

To: Cortisone shot
I had an injection in 3 spots in my right upper should muscle  for treatment of my fibromyalgia, well by shot 3 I passed out, stopped breathing they finally got me to come to, I was sweaty and felt horrible, I had also lost control of my bladder while I was out. I then became dizzy and very nauseaous, I vomited continually, for about 2 hrs, when I finally got home the Dr. had prescribed phenegran I took that and was able to sleep and stop vomiting, the next day was wiped out, 3 days later and now almost a week later, I keep getting dizzy and nauseaous on and off. My shoulder feel great now, but the rest of me doesnt, and I wont do it again.
