Can steroid injections cause a high white blood cell count?
YES Therapy with steroids modifies the leukocytosis response. When corticosteroids are given to healthy persons, the WBC count rises. However, when corticosteroids are given to a person with a severe infection, the infection can spread significantly without producing an expected WBC rise. An important concept to remember is that, leukocytosis as a sign of infection can be masked in a patient taking corticosteroids.
Yes, taking steroids (glucocorticoids like prednisone) are well known to gradually increase the WBC count with longer use , as over several weeks to months. Often WBC's may increase from 5,000 to 10-20,000. This does not indicate an infectious process, which could also increase the WBC count. The clinical significance is usually thought to be small, when comparing the benefit to the risk of use in liver cancer.

Is eczema cream containing steroid harmful?
Over the counter steroid creams - such as hydrocortisone creams - are not harmful in themselves but can be harmful when not used as directed. They should be used for short periods of time, otherwise there is a tendency to develop resistance. They also thin the skin with overuse, which of course also makes the skin more vulnerable. Unfortunately, because they are so effective many people DO overuse them, or simply don't read the directions. Many countries outside of Canada and the U.S. have taken steps to prevent misuse. For example, in Britain, steroid creams are not available over the counter - customers must talk with the pharmacist who will then allow (or not) the sale and provide clear verbal instructions and warnings so that users are clearly aware of how they are to be used.
How bad is pain following steroid injection in shoulder?
It shouldn't be too bad after about 12h or so. Along with the steroid, you should get some local anesthetic that should take care of most of your pain. If you have persistent pain or certainly worsening pain, you should be concerned for infection and contact your doctor. Not bad. Keep some ice on it off and on at the beginning to keep down inflammation. It might ache a bit for a day or two, but no big deal.
