I had my second set of cortisone shots in both my feet yesterday. Today I feel too lousy to do anything. Headache and abdominal pain. I realized that I went through this for a couple of days after my last cortisone shots. Has anyone else experienced this after cortisone injections?

Sorry to hear you're not feeling well. Did you call your dr. to let them know? After that give yourself the day off and take care of you.

I've had about 10 total all in my shoulders. None of them made me sick. Sore, and one of them when the went into the joint made me start to pass out but never reacted to them like you say.

Hubby and I both have had cortisone shots and have never been sick after having one, but everyone's body reacts different. Hope you feel better soon.

Never had a reaction either but u could be sensitive to the preservatives in shots. DD is and she gets like that. Cortisone also can lower your immunity. I'd call dr and maybe rethink anymore of them! Do they help the original problem? Enough to override the side eFfects??

Could you have an adrenal problem you don't know about?? Should probably call the doc.
