What Does Loss Of Libido After Getting A Cortisone Injection Indicate?
I had a cortisone injection in my left shoulder about six weeks ago and almost immediately experienced a drop in libido and felt drained of testosterone. I am unable to get or sustain an erection which is very distressing to me. Is this a normal side effect and how long might I have to wait for the drug to leave my system.

Hello,
It is not related to cortisone. Most probably it is related to anxiety. If symptoms persist you can consult a psychiatrist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
