RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR CELESTONE | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
1 | Knee Operation, Psoriatic Arthritis | Insomnia, high anxiety, depression. | While it definitely helped with inflammation associated with knee surgery, I definitely would prefer the swollen knee in comparison to the depression I have been experiencing. | M | 51 | 1 weeks 5.7 mg 4X W | 4/11/2021 | 1 | Erythema nodosum | Allergic reaction. Lump and bruising on wrist after 1 hour of having injection into lower leg. Have had major headache for past week. Pulling sensation in limbs, stomach, back and neck. | F | 59 | 1 days 1 1X day | 9/23/2020 | 1 | knee pain after trauma | Initially rapid heartbeat and insomia. After one week 4 pound weight gain. After 6 weeks 6.5 pound weight gain, puffy face, bloat belly, redistribution of fat to mid-section. | I was a 100 pound fit woman who hiked 15 miles a week. I fell in a parking lot on flexed knees. I saw a sports doctor who talked me into bi-lateral injections of what I now know was Celestone into my knees (12 mg into each knee). This was a massive dose especially for a 100 pound woman. I was assured none of the steroid is absorbed systemically but later learned this was a lie (the doctor apparently needed the fee due to Covid-19 shutdowns and not seeing patients.) Seven weeks later my appearance has completely changed. I have gained 6.5 pounds. The 6.5 is all in my belly as the steroid causes not only weight gain but fat redistribution. I now have a bloated belly with rolls of fat - I had no belly fat before. My face is puffy and I have developed fat under my chin. I can't fit into any of my clothes. This is a nightmare and it appears there is no remedy. | F | 1 days 24 mg 1X day | 6/7/2020 | 1 | knee pain after trauma | Initially rapid heartbeat and insomia. After one week 4 pound weight gain.

This is only day 2 | I've never had this problem before, and have had this shot many times for different reasons. I'm not sure what has changed. | F | 42 | 1 days | 4/12/2020 | 5 | SEVERE SINUS | none. the best medicine to assist with severe sinus and colitis | I recommend | F | 37 | 1 years 2ML IN BUT 1X day | 2/6/2020 | 5 | Sinus allergies | None | M | 57 | 1 days 6 | 1/11/2020 | 1 | Injection in nerves in arm | Exactly 13 days after the injection I started having severe pain in head, dizziness, vomiting, required several ED visits, this lasted for a full month. I now have occipital neuralgia (nerves in neck connected to nerves in arm) which is debilitating and life altering. | F | 48 | 1 times 1X O | 12/2/2019 | 1 | Hip pain, possible displacement | Migraine headache for 2 days. Even my teeth hurt. Facial swelling, flushed cheeks and neck. Obviously, I had an allergic reaction, so I went back the following day and received injections for pain and nausea. The pain injection didn't help, so I was given hydrocodone and am better today. Still have minor pain behind my left eye. | F | 66 | 1 days | 3/27/2019 | 1 | Allergic reaction to an unknown origin | Low potassium High blood pressure Diarrhea | Won’t take it again | F | 68 | 1 days Injection | 6/3/2018 | 1 | Hand fracture | For one day I felt amazing then everything went downhill fast. Ended up in ER with bradycardia and weakness. Nausea, the runs, vertigo terribly bad. Ear pressure and no need to eat more than a piece of toast Been three weeks and I am not able to leave my house! | Do NOT accept this medicine as an aide in your healing. This has been the worst 3 weeks (and how long to go??) of my life! I was fine before this. | F | 38 | 1 days 1 mg shot | 9/15/2017 | 1 | Given a shot to arthritic knee | About 5 days after receiving the shot to my knee, I had horrible diarrhea for 2 weeks. Went to ER and also have gastro appt. This was not worth having for what it caused. | They give these shots too liberally without telling you possible side effect | F | 70 | 1X day | 10/19/2016 | 3 | Asthma and severe allergies | The shot helped my asthma but it caused severe constipation for a couple of months | F | 45 | 1 days 1 shot | 5/23/2016 | 1 | allergy and joint pain | I have had almost all the side effects! Never want this medicine again. Felt like I was dying. The pain and swelling ,dizziness, nausea. It's terrible! | Don't take it. | F | 60 | 1 days 30mg | 7/12/2015 | 1 | Upper respiratory | Rapid Heart Rate of 120-160 beats per minute for a week. tingling into my head and spine down arms. ER visit. Will never take shot again. Knew a lady who died from one. | Thinking age (41) had an effect with this shot . Maybe related to hormones in women too. I was on a cycle and maybe potassium was low too. Had taken it before with little problems. | F | 45 | 1 days 1X day | 7/19/2011 | 5 | aid mobility in rotator cuff injury | Had a horrible headache for 24 hours; some short term visual disturbances; made me very tired; 5 days later also produced heart attack like symptoms but only once; sped up my heart rate and caused some mild squeezing | Did free up the joint; took away my asthma, breathing great and helped my sinuses/allergies clear! | F | 60 | 1 times 1X AN | 5/11/2010 | 1 | Treated by dr for pneuomia | I was given an injection mix celestone 12 mm & rocephin 5mm the next day I took pill avelox 400mg as directed by dr. I have lost the feeling in my right arm my shoulder and right side of my face, my fingers have feeling, I was taken to the E/R per request from my doctor and had a stroke. I am not sure if the injection that was given to me by the doctors office was the casue of this stroke but I was a healthy 55 man active and no health issues....perhaps this could have cause my illness but I would advise for anyone that might be given celestone to do more research on this medicine. | M | 55 | 1 days | 1/8/2009 | 1 | injection in back | hives all over my body everyday for the past 5 weeks. | I had celestone injected in my back and now I break out in hives everyday, it's been 5 weeks. Allergist says you can't be allergic to cortisone but it's an anti-inflammatory and I'm allergic to anti-inflammatorys. How long does it stay in your system. I can't stand the itching and swelling anymore. | F | 59 | 1 days | 12/15/2008 | 2 | pain in knees | I experienced rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, and facial flushing. The rapid heartbeat has continued now for two weeks, causing a visit to a cardiologist. | F | 58 | | 6/4/2007 |
