Spotting Following Cortisone Injection

He just said it was to do with the steroid affecting oestrogen levels. I'm pretty certain it affects the hormones because that's exactly how I felt , very hormonal and periody (if that's a word ) I even said to my husband when I woke up the day it started, I felt like I was due a period, despite not having one for three years. I hope it doesn't cause you too many problems if you have to continue with the injections. I certainly won't be having them again unless it's absolutely vital. 🥰

Thanks for your info it does put me at ease as to why its happening after the steroid shot .. it makes sense that it would interfere with your estrogen levels .. my gynecologist told me if I am still going to get the steroid shots that to contact her again only if I have a heavy period and she will do another biopsy..
Iam going to try and go longer in between shots and keep taking estrogen cream twice a week to see if it helps . Thanks and good luck

Thanks for getting back to me poppy , Iam going to try and go with out the injections for awhile but i am 77 and i have a hard time walking with out them so we will see how long I can do it .I also was having a procedure from the physio called IMS (inter muscular stimulation ) its a big thing here in canada 🍁 . It’s a bit like acupuncture. They also call it needling .Its suppose to grab the nerve that is causing you trouble and relax it ..
it works to a fashion when your in agony but its very expensive so not too keen on that .
Thanks again for your help cheers from canada 🇨🇦
