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?
