I ended up having to get a cortisone injection about 10 years back due to a frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis). I ended up with a concussion because of it. 
Right after the injection, as I was putting my shirt back on, I started feeling this strange sensation, kind of like my body was beginning to overheat. Well, as I get back to the front office to pay the bill, it got really bad and I was just asking the receptionist if this was normal..................next thing I know, I wake up on a bed in an exam room, with two doctors and a nurse hovering around me, trying to get me to drink some water and asking me all kinds of questions. I had no idea who the hell I was, if I was even married (they had asked for my wife's phone number so that they could call her), or what had happened. It took about 15 minutes or so before that knowledge started coming back to me. It was like a shaken snowglobe, and my memories were the floating flakes within it, slowly settling to the base over time.
Doc said I had some kind of reaction to the cortisone (not very common) that caused my blood vessels to constrict leading to me passing out. The receptionist said I just passed out while standing there as I was asking her the question, and fell straight over backwards with my head smacking the tiled floor.
Had somewhat of a headache and felt nauseous for about a week (although no pain the the shoulder
). After that, some bi-weekly physical therapy to increase the range of motion of my shoulder and all was OK. Until about 3 yrs later when it came back, but not quite as bad. Didn't go to the doctor that time, and it went away by itself after a few weeks.
No more cortisone shots for me.
