Yes, about the third time I was injected for elbow tendinitis. As soon as the numbing medicine wore off I was in the worst pain for several hours and couldn't use my arm. After that I noticed there was tissue necrosis of the muscle in the area of the injection. Needless to say, I stopped getting the injections after that.

Yes my husband had a bad rotator cuff injury and the doctor gave him a cortisone injection. Sure he was pain free but the Dr never said be careful don't think this is a cure. My husband went back to work pain free and really caused serious damage. He was out of work for 2 years had 3 rota tor cuff surgeries. Cortisone is OK in moderation. To my knowledge never a good thing for long term. Ricki

Yes, I used to get them twice yearly for severe allergies that triggered asthma. Eventually, one injection left me feeling unaccountably, severely depressed for no apparent reason. I felt like the little guy in the Winnie The Pooh comics wandering around with a rain cloud over his head I wanted to cry all the time, which was not my personality at all. I could hardly even walk around with my head up at work, I was that depressed..Also my abdomen & face got puffy looking and I was very tired. Once I clued in & asked the Dr. he said that I had reached my quota of Pred. & should never have it again unless it was a life or death situation.It took awhile,but it went away as the shot wore off.
A horrible experience that prompted me to begin researching so-called alternative forms of medicine for natural relief without the side effects. I have been cortisone free for about 20 years now, no regrets.

you favor to look into lyme ailment as a conceivable reason for your extreme reaction to the cortisone injection. those with lyme ailment are notoriously reactive to cortisone of any form of their joints, muscle mass, nerves and various of different organ structures. A unmarried cortisone injection began a negative cascade of symotoms ,in me, which develop into finally clinically determined as lyme ailment 3 months later.

My mom gets those shots in her knees. Most of the time they work great but a couple of times they have had a reverse affect and caused more swelling. There is usually tenderness in her knees after having them also. I cant take them myself or steriods..im highly allergic to them and it causes my muscles to lock up and i literally feel like im paralyzed. Anyways hope this helps you out. Good Luck

I had it injected into my hip once.
Initially, it felt great; then WHAM! I felt as though I had been hit in the hip with a sledge hammer by the strongest man in the world.
It worked though. I haven't needed it since.

Of course... read the sports news.
Don't use it unless two doctors tell you need it for a certain medical condition.
