I HAD A CORTISONE SHOT OVER 30 YEARS AGO FOR ACUTE BURSITIS IN MY UPPER ARM/SHOULDER. MY ENTIRE ARM BLEW UP TWICE ITS SIZE, TURNED BRIGHT RED, VERY HOT, SEVERE PAIN FOR SEVERAL DAYS. NOW I NEED A CORTISONE SHOT FOR RELIEF FOR A TRIGGER FINGER LOCKING UP AND GIVING ME PAIN. I HAVE A SPLINT ON IT, ICE IT SEVERAL TIMES A DAY AND TAKE ADVIL. I AM TOLD THE CORTISONE SHOT WILL HELP IT THE MOST OTHER THAN SURGERY WHICH I AM TRYING TO AVOID. COULD THIS HAPPEN AGAIN? THANKS./ N.M.CURTIS
