Reaction to cortisone
by SmOne, Oct 25, 2009 09:22PM
Has anyone recieving their first cortisone injection (hip for trochanteric buritis) experienced any adverse reaction? I am talking about SUDDEN,SEVERE,dizziness,trouble getting my vision back in focus,finding it hard to walk without feeling like I will fall down. It has eased up, but the symptoms came on around noon. I got the injection two days ago (Friday).I was just concerned and found this site and thought I would give ya'll a shot.

How are you? Was there a recurrence of your symptoms? Short-term side effects of cortisone injection may include atrophy and lightening of the color of the skin at the injection site, introduction of bacterial infection into the body, local bleeding from broken blood vessels in the skin or muscle, soreness at the injection site, and aggravation of inflammation in the area injected. In people who have diabetes, cortisone injections can elevate the blood sugar. Cortisone injections are used with caution in people with diabetes and avoided in people with active infections because it can elevate the blood sugar of diabetics. If your symptoms persists, inform your doctor about this.Take care and best regards.
