What Causes Hot Sensation In The Neck And Headache After A Steroid Shot?
I had a steroid injection yesterday in my shoulder (betamethasone/marcaine) last night my faced became flush and hot. So much so it is almost chapped today. My neck is flushed today also and I have a headache. I assume this is caused by the injection. How long will this last ? I have had injections in the past without this reaction
