Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Cortisone shot does not cause impotence. In fact, it can help to produce more testosterone. So do not worry unnecessarily about the cortisone shot you have received and relate it to erectile issues what you are having. It appears to be more of psychological than a physical one. Gradually, you should be able to overcome the problem.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
