Spotting Following Cortisone Injection

I’ve been wondering the same thing. I’ve had two instances now when after getting steroid shot in my hip, begin bleeding 14 or so days later. Last for a week. Also on HRT and wondering about that. I have a yearly exam with my gyno in April and plan on asking. After direst episode I had ultrasound and uterine biopsies but everything negative. Neither my gyno nor my ortho doc know anything about this happening. Wondering I if anyone else has had their gyno change their HRT due to this PMB due to injections??

I haven't contacted my gyno yet but I discontinued estradiol after 2nd day of bleeding and plan to resume after bleeding stops (its been 5 days and seems to be easing up). The steroid shot was so helpful for my shoulder issue that I'd do it again and deal with 5-7 days of bleeding, as long as it isn't creating more serious problems like polyps or uterine cancer. The gynos and ortho docs need to be better informed about this for sure!

I'm experiencing this now. Appts soon for ultrasound and biopsy. My gyn has never heard of this. The stress is unreal playing the weighting game.
