Reaction to cortisone injection
I had a cortisone injection in my should on monday. Tuesday afternoon I my arm went red & hot to touch. Wednesday my other arm was also red and hot to touch. I took an antihistamine on last night which helped for a while. Today my fingers joints are sore when I bend my fingers and the hot red rash is on my chest as well.
Hi usually this is not common with steroids but maybe faulty techniques can lead to problems. If you are better with antihistamines it's good or you can try anti inflammatory also.
In case problem does not resolve kindly consult a surgeon.
