In rare cases, repeated cortisone injections can potentially weaken tendons and cartilage, which may lead to joint damage over time. It's important to discuss the risks and benefits of cortisone shots with a healthcare provider and to use them judiciously.
Creams or ointments containing cortisone may help control itching from insect bites, contact dermatitis, or eczema.
yes cortisone shots can make you skip your period, and it can take up to 2 months for them to get straight again.
Even if it did, as long as you can prove it was administered by a doctor with a perscription, it's completely legal for you to have it.
Yes, it is possible. The inflammation that you are having in the spinal region can cause white cell count elevation. Using the cortisone injections will decrease the inflammation and therefore the WBC count.
