I had a cortisone injection in my knee 2/7, I have had really bad pain and swelling in my knee and have been developing chest pain, shortness of breathe, bloating, muscle weakness, fatigued, severe dizziness but feels like I am being shocked all the time, severe nausea, mild face swelling, chills, mood changes and vision changes since off and on. Now for a week straight all the symptoms are continuous and crippling. Made phone calls to the doctors office that done the injection 3 to 5 times a week since the injection for all that was going on. I have been to the ER, and family doctor 3 times this past week, we ruled out blood clot in lung and a heartattack and had a GI cocktail but no relief. Now this doctor would like to see me in the office thursday to see what's going on. Is this an allergic reaction? Keep in mind this is a WC case so no other doctor would advise, treat or even look at my knee....
I know this probably isn't much help, but at least now you know that you aren't the only 1 that has had symptoms like those after an injection.
Please post an update after you see ur DR & Good luck
