Subject: Steroid injection to my shoulder

I am writing for my wife. She received 2 steroid injections into her left shoulder in Nov. 2011. First question is - how long before this gets out of her system/how long can the effects of the injections last? The injection also left a patch about the size of silver dollar on her skin that is red/purplish/veiny and where all the muscle is now gone - like it made the muscle and tissue there necrotic. My wife had received high doses of steroids during her pregnancy and the effect it had on her then was that it induced nausea that could only be improved with constant eating. Now, she has the nausea as well and it roughly coincides with the steroid shots, but the nausea makes her not want to eat at all and she's losing weight - under 100 lbs. now. Can this be a side effect of the steroid injection? If so, again, when it is going to leave her body? Any ideas or thoughts are appreciated. Let me know if you have any questions about her situation.
