Knee injection problem

Pattypoo1959

Hi everyone, I have tried to search for other posts about my problem but cant seem to find anything.

three weeks ago I had my second injection for my knee ( first was fine ) within a few hours I suffered terrible side effects, severe headache, spike in blood pressure, palpitations, dizziness fainting etc etc . My GP said this can happen and will pass in a few days. It didnt.

since then I have continued to be too ill to work , im self employed so no money😩 I now have my BP under control but Im left with extreme fatigue, terrible stomach problems such as acid reflux / upset stomach, palpitations, my hiatal hernia is giving me hell…

and my knee pain was back within a few days …

my GP is saying “ anxiety” which to me is a “ cover all angles comment” .

i’d appreciate any others experiences please .
