is it safe to have cortisone shot with high blood pressure in the left shoulder. 2 times in 2 months my dad had this done both times he was in hospital with severe chest pains. and shoulder never stoped hurting.???? |

Injected corticosteroids have the potential to enter systemic circulation and increase blood pressure. The effect is typically transient. In general, the risk of raising blood pressure by giving a steroid injection has to be weighed against the anticipated benefit--realizing that shoulder pain will raise blood pressure as well. If the injection did not help, then there would not appear to be much benefit to doing another. |
