Cortisone is a pregnane (21-carbon) steroid hormone. It is a naturally-occurring corticosteroid metabolite that is also used as a pharmaceutical prodrug; it is not synthesized in the adrenal glands. Cortisol is converted by the action of the enzyme corticosteroid 11-beta-dehydrogenase isozyme 2 into the inactive metabolite cortisone, particularly in the kidneys. Cortisone is converted back to the active steroid cortisol by the action of the enzyme 11β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1,...

After the Cortisone shot yesterday to my knee, I had insomnia last knight and lots of sweating. Is this normal or a bad reaction to the medication? ## Hi, Marjorie! Sorry about the insomnia and sweating. Cortisone is a steroid class medication and those can be normal side effects of these drugs and may linger for a few days after having been given the shot. Learn more Cortisone details here. I'm sorry that you weren't warned about them. However, you should discuss it with your doctor to verify this and be sure of what else you can expect. Is there anything else I can help with?

do cortisone shots contain any glass? ## Hi josie, Based on my research, cortisone is a steroid hormone. It is one of the main hormones released by the adrenal gland in response to stress. In chemical structure, it is a corticosteroid closely related to corticosterone. It is used to treat a variety of ailments and can be administered intravenously, orally, intraarticularly (into a joint), or transcutaneously. Cortisone suppresses the immune system, thus reducing inflammation and attendant pain and swelling at the site of the injury. To answer your question, I haven't heard/read anything about cortisone shots containing glass. The specific inactive ingredients can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, so if you're planning on getting one just post back and let me know of the ma...

I'm 64 years old went to Orotho Dr today for arthritic knee he gave me a shot of cortisone in the knee I have a bad right hand also can I still take my 10mg of Oxycodone 3 hrs later ## Hello, Georann! How are you? I didn't find any problems or interactions listed between these two medications, but it's always best to double check such information to be sure. The FDA classifies Cortisone as a steroid and lists its most common side effects as possibly including pain, irritation, infection and skin pigment changes. Oxycodone is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with?

My 13 yr old son was given Betaclav 1000mg twice a day and pulmision 20mg twice a day for 5 days for a sinus infection. It is making him feel worse with nausea, headaches and weakness. Must I stop his course or continue? ## Those can be normal side effects of these medications, according to the NIH, but he should continue taking them, unless his doctor instructs otherwise. He may also experience diarrhea, stomach pain, acne, and non-allergic skin rash. How is he doing? Has there been any change? ## He completed the course yesterday and today he seems slightly better although still nausea and lots of mucus in the tubes. His head still feels fuzzy, can feel mucus draining down his throat. Do I need to go back to the doc or you think he is on the mend?

Half a year ago I developed Lichen Planus. As the disease progressed and the rashes were all over my body, my doctor inj. me with a 20mg cortisone shot. And also for my chronic back pain I have to take Meloxicam and Baclofen. What are the side effects of taking these medications? Thank you. ## The NIH and FDA warn that you may experience more side effects than usual, which could include nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, headache, fluid retention, and weight changes. However, if the shot was given months ago, it should no long play a role, so the issues would be due to the Meloxicam, and Baclofen. Have you received another shot, since?

Has there been any change? Are you on any other medications? One of my friends had one done the other day and she said it is very painful.

Back is out again. One shot of cortisone will get me back to normal within 30-45 minutes. No one will help me. Is there any Doctor in PA that will administer one shot of cortisone? Lehigh Valley area. ## There is no proof that cortisone, triamcinolone, dexamethasone, or any steroid is a benefit when injected into spine. That is why FDA has black box warnings on the drug use in this way. The manufacturers do not recommend using it via epidural route. You should Google the Safe Use Initiative Program by FDA and it’s work on Epidural steroid drugs. Also, FDA issued a Drug safety communication in November 2014 that warns patients on the dangers and risks of these procedures. ## While these shots have successfully helped many people, the other poster is correct regarding their warnings...

Thank you for the answers. I appreciate it. I am just doing a research and thought I ask over this website in case other people would like to share opinions. Maybe some drugs could be an answer to underweight people if first consulting a doctor. ## There are actually far too many medications to list, that can cause weight gain as a side effect and there is also no way to determine if any given person would experience this as a side effect. Some people experience weight gain from SSRI antidepressants and some don't. In addition, most medications can also cause other side effects and, if they do cause weight gain, then it is generally only temporary and doesn't last, once the medication is discontinued. This, coupled with the possible dangers, explains why most doctors will not re...

had a cortisone shot and it caused a seizure, now they want me to have a cockscomb shot in my knee and I am reluctant to do it. ## Hi Andrea, I can certainly see why anyone would be reluctant to follow through with these shots after an experience like that. Based on others' experiences I've read, I can say that it doesn't always work the same for each individual, as many have had great results with cockscomb shots without the side effects. Are there any more natural approaches you've considered trying instead of these shots?

I have to have cortisone injection in lumbar spine and my doctor instructs me to stop taking Sintrom for two days beforehand.What are thr risks in doing so? I am 95 years old. ## My sintrom 4mg is finished and I am in Germany. Can I substitute it with Acetylsalicy tablets? ## Hello, Richard! How are you? There is a slight risk of developing blood clots, from stopping it, but the risk isn't very high, if you're only stopping for 2 days. It would be best to follow your doctor's instructions for your own safety. Sintrom is classifies by the FDA as an anticoagulant and its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and easy bruising. Eddy, have you consulted a doctor there? They should be able to prescribe something equivale...
