Side affects of steroids?

[ajd376]

I wonder if anyone can tell me if hot flushes followed instantly by goose bumps is a side affect as had 1st steroid injection yesterday but wasn't given any paper.

Hi, yes I had hot flushes for a couple of days after my injection and I seem to remember reading that it was a common side effect. Hope your injection works for you. Tracy x
