   <p>Yikes, Janus! That seems like a pretty strong reaction to a cortisone shot. If you haven't already, I would definitely alert your physician as to what happened. Your body obviously had a very strong response to that shot. <br> <br> I have not heard of any of our other community members having this type of a response to a cortisone shot, but that doesn't mean it hasn't happened. I do hope anyone with a similar experience to yours will chime in here. I hope you are feeling better now. <br> <br> Here is some information from the Mayo Clinic about cortisone shots that you may find interesting -- <a href='https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/cortisone-shots/about/pac-20384794' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer ugc'>https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/cortisone-shots/about/pac-20384794</a>. Please don't hesitate to update us on how you are doing, if you feel comfortable doing so. <br> <br> Best, Erin, <a href='http://MultipleSclerosis.net' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer ugc'>MultipleSclerosis.net</a> Team Member.</p>

   <p>I just had a cortisone shot and my body freaked out as well. I even have new MS symptoms popping up a couple days later. This makes no sense to me because steroids is usually what we’re given to calm down a relapse. <br> <br> Thank you for your post. Did you ever figure out if it was the shot that caused the ms symptoms or was it a coincidence?</p>

   <p>Hi lissa! <br> thanks so much for replying to this post. I'm so sorry that you also had a reaction to the shot. <br> In my case, it was an EXTREMELY painful injection and it was a reaction to the pain itself. No new symptoms, just a cascade effect of all old ones!</p>
