Do Cortisone Shots Cause Constipation?

Does cortizone shots cause constipation? I just recently got a cortizone shot in each of my heels for plantar fasciitis. This was two days ago and now I am so constipated my stomach is distended. I have been eating plenty of verges and drinking plenty of water.
