A member asked:
Cortizone (hydrocortisone) shot needed. i am scared i will have a reaction to it. has anyone else ever have a reaction?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fear overrated: Cortisone reactions are extremely unlikely. Cortisone is one of the medications used to prevent and treat severe allergy. Local irritant reaction possible but generally mild and and transient.
