Default Cortisone flare

I have very severe increased pain for 24hrs after cortisone shots.... Far worse than dental pain (I get some things done without freezing). It's so awful. I am dreading another shot for bursitis...
Anyone have ideas for how to minimize the bad pain after the shot (with fluroscopy)? Ice, rest, pain meds don't help at all... I don't know that I can go through another but my bursitis is so bad :-(
Thanks
