I had a cortisone shot about 2 weeks ago for a muscle in my lower back I have scoliosis and degenerative disc in my lower back this cortisone shot caused me to have a very bad migraine for a day and I could not function for the next two days if you have high blood pressure do not take this shot I do not have blood pressure but still had effects from it I was wanting her to okay me for acupuncture which I have no effects from that and it helps with my lower back issue

Since posting I actually did have a cortisone shot in the piriformis muscle which greatly helped. No other issues except really sore for a few days I do have high blood pressure however I'm on the lowest dose pill and it is controlled. I have always been told if it is controlled even with medication you don't need to worry. they have never given me a migraine....had lot of those shots prior to my knee replacement. I hope you get relief soon. I've never had them in a muscle prior, only in the knee joint.
