Cortisone shots: What you experienced is likely a vasovagal response, which is due to your anxiety, triggering autonomic nervous system reactions. Possible side effects include a temporary pain at the injection site, infection, bleeding, loss of skin pigmentation, loss of fat and tendon rupture. Systemic side effects of a local injection of cortisone are rare and usually minor.

You have them all.: These are side-effects of short duration. Redness of the face is due to vasodilation of blood vessels. Fluid retention is common, nausea less, but it occurs, especially if you take an nsaid.
