Side effects of cortisone injection?

Posted by koleke @koleke, May 17, 2024

I had a cortisone injection in my left knee on Tuesday. By the evening I got a headache, felt like a migraine. Two days later the headache subsided but my right neck\jaw area has shooting pains coming at regular intervals. Has anyone experienced something similar? Not sure what to do about it????

Did the negative symptoms you describe come about immediately after the injection or at a later time after returning home? I experienced similar symptoms after my first thoracic spine injection but I hadn’t eaten before the procedure. And sitting up after the procedure caused lightheadedness due to my BP dropping. I just sat there until I was okay to get off the table. This is not an uncommon occurrence after such a procedure.

Mine took a few hours to come on. But I'm done with those. If the pain is that bad I think I'll probably just get a joint replacement. Though I'm extremely against those too. Volunteering for pain isn't my thing. 😂
