Anyone ever have this happen from a cortisone shot? I had an injection in my foot yesterday,, and the pain was so bad I passed out in the doctor's office. How embarassing! 
Instead of making the pain better, it has made it worse. The doctor said this happens sometimes. Never happened to me before.

I do as well, and I have had them in my hip before, and also my heel, with no strange reactions. This was into the ball of my foot, and maybe he hit a nerve or something. I've NEVER had a reaction like that. Plus, it's not relieving the existing pain, but rather exacerbating it.

Maybe (s)he did hit a nerve. Was the area numbed first?

Yes. he numbed it with a topical anesthetic. I kinda wish that when I passed out, I would have kicked him, just a little....

I locked my back up on my honeymoon.
Went to an immediate care center kind of place, where they put a cortisone shot right in my back.
I made it to the window to pay before it hit and I fell over.
YOW!

Of course the important question is...did you pee yourself?

Because of the pain or how much it cost for the shot?

No, I did not! I still wish I would have kicked him, just a little. The pain has subsided and now the foot is numb. I guess it's a better alternative than taking painkillers.

I hope you're 100% soon. Not feeling good, especially on your weekend, sucks!
