Cortisone shot site still hurts?

I was in the emergency room on 06/15 for an asthma attack and they gave me a cortisone shot. It is now a little over a month later and the spot they gave me the shot in still hurts. Has anyone else had this and should I be alarmed.

They may have hit a nerve. I've had this happen to me before. Try a hot pack (not too hot) several times a day. If there is no improvement in another week or two, or if it gets worse, get in to see your doctor.

Yeah, well it's probably a spot that was injurred with the needle trying to heal up. Call your doc and ask about it.
