They weren’t really interested in pursuing anything else. They believe it was the shot. Also there are tons of studies that this happens to postmenuposal women! I presented the doctor with the studies. The orthopedic that gave the shot had never heard of bleeding before and I told him about the studies as well. Those shots present a lot of issues. It is artificial cortisol and there are also links to causing myelitis diabetes.

Hi , i am 76 years old and this is the 5th epidural injection shot i had . I have been getting them every 4-5 months and after everyone 16days later i would start bleeding .At first i thought it was like everyone else something must be wrong .So i had a D&C and they found out I had thinning of the uterus but no cancer so my gynecologist put me on low doses of estrogen cream .
The bleeding lasted a few days . However the second time i had the shot again same thing happened but the bleeding lasted longer so I asked my nurse practitioner and my gynecologist if it was possible the steroid shot could cause this .. they never heard of it but she said just to be on the safe side they upped my estrogen cream to double .
So I just had another shot 16 days ago same thing has happened just started bleeding again . So i have another call in to my gynecologist.. so like everyone else iam at a loss here as i need the shots !
