Are The Loss Of Appetite, Nausea, Sleeplessness And Malaise The Effect Of Cortisone Injection?
I have bursitis - left hip. I had a cortisone injection (described by the doc as mega ) 10 days ago which resulted in an ecxascerbation of the pain that I had before the injection. I had another mega injection 3 days ago. The bursitis pain has relieved except for minor aching of my upper thigh and soreness at the injection site. What I am questioning is the flu-like symptoms I have had since the injection 3 days ago.....loss of appetite, nausea, sleepiness, general malaise. Is this a side-effect of cortisone injections in close proximity?.
