"I received the injection for my herniated disc pain. I have chronic depression also. A few days later, my mental state became very different. Severely anxious, panicked, confused, paranoid. I had severe motion sickness even when I was not moving: nausea, upset burning sensation in my stomach, headache, acne, and very hot skin. Sweating immensely. I just wanted to warn people who have the same condition as I do. It did relieve a lot of the pain."

"I had pain stemming from spinal stenosis. When I use this, I have no side effects following an injection. Great relief from excruciating pain in the legs due to spinal stenosis. I get a 'real' cortisone injection every 4 months. I use the betamethasone only as a last resort because I'm told it can be harmful with frequent use. What do I know? Nothing, except it works for at least four days when I am desperate for relief and doctors won't give anything for pain. I live in Mexico where I can actually buy it without a prescription."

Betamethasone "First, I don’t understand why “Incidence not known” precedes lists of side effects. Are they possible side effects, or not? It’s Friday evening, four days post 2.5 ml Celestone/Xylocaine guided injection into the left subacromial-subdeltoid bursa, painless. I had flushing day 2-3, now past. No pain relief from the injection yet. The last 24 hours have been taking ibuprofen 6 hourly after food. Resting most of the day as too uncomfortable to do much, though I have tried. Still very uncomfortable. New symptom is a bit like sinus pain in that it’s manifesting as painful facial bones and other areas around my upper arm and head and neck, more on the left."

Betamethasone "I used Gelmicin cream that contains betamethasone to treat my rosacea. It worked, however, because betamethasone is a vasodilator, my face became red, and I looked like I had a sunburn. My doctor instructed me to stop using Gelmicin, and now I use a sulfur-based face wash that is not very effective."

"I took this medication last year and had no side effects. The relief of my herniated disks (4) was completely gone for 11 months. I would recommend it to anyone with sciatic nerve pain."

"Severe hay fever with asthma, miraculous recovery within hours of the second dose. Still, some chest constrictions, though."
