Update!!!
Been to the gynecologist today who was very familiar with this being a side effect of the steroid injection in fact said I was about the fourth case he had seen in recent months , I had an internal scan and all fine with my ovaries but the lining of my womb was ever so slightly thicker than it should be so he's taken a biopsy just to be sure. He's discharged me from the cancer pathway and is happy that my bleeding was caused by the steroid injection. Feeling relieved but a little angry I wasn't warned of this as because my frozen shoulder was improving on its own and manageable I probably would of declined the injection and saved myself all this worry and hassle over Christmas.

Hi , Iam so glad to hear that your dr was familiar with this happening after a steroid shot .Did your dr give you any indication as to why it happens ? I can’t do with out the back injections so my gynecologist is keeping an eye on me . I also have had all the test and have come up clear . However ,I would still like to know why it does that …Is it because the steroid shot is a hormone and interferes with the hormones in our bodies .? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks 😊
