Joint Injection Side Effects | Flushing | Sweating

Flushing or sweating is one of the most common side effects after a joint injection.

It seems to be due to the effect of the steroid and can often last for several days. I've had many women (and even some men) complain to me that they thought they were "going through the menopause."

The sweating feelings are short lived and do not indicate any serious underlying problem - simply an unusual effect of the steroid drug as it gets into the body in small amounts after an injection to a joint or to one of the soft tissues of the body.

If the flushing or sweating side effects persist for more than two or three days then you should see your doctor for a check over in case there is some other cause active behind the scenes.
