Hello,
Thanks for your query.
There is a common side-effect of cortisone shots called a cortisone flare. A cortisone flare can cause an increase in symptoms in the first 24-48 hours after a cortisone injection. The good news is that there are treatments for a cortisone flare, and the symptoms usually subside within a few days.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
