What Causes Headache And Pressure In The Shoulders After Taking A Cortisone Shot?
A little over two weeks ago I had cortisone injections in my spine for budging discs. A week ago after mowing my lawn on a ride on mower, I developed a very bad headache and pressure in my shoulders which lasted more than a day/. Yesterday after mowing I developed the same symptoms. Since I had a benign brain tumor removed from the balance center of my brain 17 years ago, I am most concerned about these symptoms. What do you advise?

Hello,
It is not related to a cortisone shot.
As first-line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
