I suffer from anxiety. can a cortisone shot make it worse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cortisone shots: MAY produce some anxiety but your perception/expectation of that happening is also a factor. Report any side-effects to your doctor but watch your "self talk." Remember that the shot is there to help you feel better by reducing inflammation. Peace and good health.
