A member asked:
I got a decadron (dexamethasone) injection yesterday at my doctor's office. will it make me hurt all over? it's like all my joints are hurting and aching really bad!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: This is not a normal reaction to Decadron (dexamethasone). It is a possible side effect from any steroid injection. It will normally go away in 24-48 hours. If it does not improve you will need to see your doctor.
