What Are The Side Effects Of Cortisone Shots?

I have had two cortisone shots, the last one-full dose, within two months a month ago. Could this be the cause of about five lb. weight gain? How long does it take for the effects of cortisone to leave my system if this is the case? When should the weight be coming off.
