Hi.
Yes, cortisone injection can cause stomach upset.
Heartburn (due to acid reflux) and indigestion can occur for a few days following cortisone injections.
I suggest you to take a proton pump inhibitor on an empty stomach before breakfast or an antacid to overcome the stomach upset caused by cortisone injections.
Hope this will help.
