1 Cortisone injections can offer fast-acting relief of inflamed muscles, joints, tendons, and bursa. 2  Complications are rare but may include infection and bleeding.  When administered by an expert, cortisone injections offer significant pain relief with only minimal discomfort.
Increased pain after the injection is typically due to a postinjection flare as a true allergic reaction to cortisone is very rare. Tendons can be weakened by corticosteroid injections in or near tendons. Tendon ruptures as a result have been reported. Facial flushing may occur in up to 40% of cases but lasts only briefly. Sweating and insomnia are uncommon. In people who have diabetes, cortisone injections can elevate the blood sugar. In patients with underlying infections, cortisone injections can suppress somewhat the body's ability to fight the infection and possibly worsen the infection or may mask the infection by suppressing the symptoms and signs of inflammation.
