Cortisone injections for cervical foraminal injections and side effects?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
what are the side effects for foramital cervical injections? I am a 49 yr old female
with cervical stenosis and osteoarthritis and its been recommended that I have an injection. My concern is weight gain or "blowing up" from the steroids. My pain is not bad now that I am on neurontin (another concern too) so if my pain comes back I will consider the injections but a friend of mine had the injections and weight gain was a big issue for her.
Thanks elizabeth

Can bupivacaine and cortisone injections cause tinnitus I had two injections in my left and one in my right shoulder to relief bursitis?
I can't find anything that lists tinnitus as a result of cortisone. However, after my first shot of cortisone (knees), within 3 days I suddenly had significant tinnitus which has continued now for five weeks. Previously, I was aware that any anti-inflammatory medicine, from aspirin to aleve to celebrex, would cause tinnitus, limiting me to tylenol. However, with the nsaid attempts, when I quit the pills, the tinnitus went away. I'm quite anxious to see if this is going to disappear as the effects of the cortisone do.
