Spotting Following Cortisone Injection

My primary doctor had never heard of this and doubted the bleeding was due to the steroid injection. (?).
The orthopedic had never heard of this as a side effect, which left me wondering. I googled about it when it first happened and found the information myself. I then reported it to both of my doctors.

@rach3455 - great that you are doing research on your own. So you presented the potential connection between the injections and bleeding to your doctors? Is ultrasound the next step?

@junglehood - with a clear ultrasound, what was your doctor's diagnosis for your bleeding situation? Are you saying your bleeding is mostly spotting, versus a heavy flow?
