What Are The Side Effects After Cortisone Shot In The Knee?
I got a cortisone shot around my plica fold on the inside of my right knee about a month ago, and there is a large bruise just now showing up..and two veins are showing more now too. The skin around where the shot was given is very rough and dry. I kept lotion on it for three days and it still is rough. Is this normal?

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to corticosteroids injection. I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain. I also suggest using cold compresses at the area of the injection.
I recommend using Calamine lotion for local application.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care.
