Hello. On Fri.,past,i had a cortisone injection for right arm requiring further physical therapy. I m taking alendronate & flomax which can cause constipation (which has occurred) but I have raisin bran & prune juice which alleviates condition. The cortisone can also cause blood pressure rise which it has as i monitor bp daily and has risen since Fri.! Constipation worsened. Now am inquiring if cortisone injection could cause constipation too which is worse.Is enough the 2 medicines cause constipation, now, the cortisone did nothing but put poison me as i refer to it--it s a steroid-- , my right arm stil hurts and not much mobility--pain to raise it much above the waist. need use left hand to raise arm higher up. Shouldn t the cortisone have eliminated the reason it was given--the doctor said it would but it did nothing at all. Sorry for lengthy description. thank you in advance for replying if you do.
Hi, Yes. It might. Cortisone injections can cause stomach upset for a few days and some people also experience hiccups. Please see your clinician. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
