Would I have a reaction with a cortisone injection?

Hey everyone,


So I've been in pain for a few months. I'm 25 and injured my low back  squatting and then with a lacrosse ball to roll out the tightness made it even worse. I also have a injured shoulder. Well, my doc had me try prednisone 40mg forb5 days. I couldn't even finish it!! I had side effects like hell. A week later now I feel better but not 100%. Next, they want to do injections of cortisone. My question is, of I had a reaction to prednisone, would I have the same with cortisone? I was anxious, nauseous, dizzy, tingling all over my body. Itbwas the worst experience of my life. I had a cortisone inkection in multiple spots in my face before because some areas hair wouldn't grow. It wasn't too much though and I never had side effects. Feedback is great guys I just feel like an old lady right now. Low back and buttock pain as well as both shoulders.
