Can My Sore Throat Be The Effect Of Cortisone Injection?I M Also Under Remicade For Crohn S Disease.
I received a cortisone injection in my left shoulder this afternoon. This evening I have developed a sore throat. Could the sore throat be in response to the cortisone? I am also taking insurance and getting Remicade infusions for Crohn s disease. My most recent infusion was this last Friday.
HI Thank for asking to HCM I really appreciate your concern, as you stated here that you have taken the cortisone injection, this is steroid this could some time induces such effects but not always this may happens in very rare condition, and this is nothing to worry about this it is self limiting symptoms no matter it is due to cortisone or any thing else, your another condition of Crohn's disease and the infusion for this nothing to take any thing with the sore throat hope this information helps you, have nice day.
