Can Cordizone Shot And Voltaren Cause Numbness In Gums?
I received a cordizone shot in my knee about a week ago also was given decophenac(voltaren) 75mg twice a day the next day I woke up and my gums feel kind of funny almost like they are numb. Also any fluids I drink taste funny. Food tastes fine just fluids. Any idea?

Hello and welcome.
You could possible be experiencing an allergic reaction to the steroids administered to you, but your symptoms are quite unlikely. I would recommend you to wait for a few days and watch your symptoms, if at all they subside then there is absolutely no doubt that this watch an allergic reaction. If you like, you could take an anti-histamine like pheniramine.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
