I have received numerous cortisone shots for arthristis and have not had high blood pressure as an adverse effect. But, that doesn't mean it will not happen. Just getting a shot might cause my blood pressure to go up. I hate them. Especially painfull ones like cortisone shots. I am sorry for that. I have to get one soon in my thumb and am not looking forward to it... kimmie1

dont bother with cortisone shots in your thumb if it is for trigger thumb
i had to hv surgery anyway, and the cortisone made be very very agitated
the surgery was less painful than the shots, and can be done with a local anesthetic
I already had surgery last April. They re-constructed my thumb joint, added a tendon and fused it. Bad mistake. You think with two screwed up fusions in my back I would have learned. I have had the shot in my thumb before the surgery and you are correct. It hurt like hell. I cried. Thanks for your comment. kimmie1
OH YES~ all of it can cause HBP, pain, shot, anxeity from shot, in the foot I am SURE is VERY painful... I guess I would rather live with the pain in some ways, got a shot in my knee once... Just once... rather live with the pain! Good luck~
