A member asked:
What side effects are commonly associated with cortisone shots?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not much: Rarely, the steroid crystals can cause a mild inflammatory response but this is brief. Repeated injections into the same area over a short period can rarely cause damage to the tissue or joint.
