A member asked:

I had a cortisone shot in knee on friday.can you get anxiety from it. if so, when will the anxiety go away.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: Possibly from the steroid itself. Just first decide if the pain is better. If so hopefully this will last. The medication wears off so if the anxiety is related to steroid this will resolve too
