Spotting Following Cortisone Injection

I think it is the sterriod shot. Look and see what kind they used. There are different ones. My orthopedic used a sterriod shot in my hip and I didn't know what kind until i got my medical records. 10 days after my shot in my hip i had a menstraul cycle for three days. I went through menopause at 32 and was done by 33 so over 20 years i haven't had a period and because of that shot i did. I also ended up with 3 blood clots in my left leg. So yes it can be the shot. the orthopedic used Kenalog 40 which the company that makes it sent out a warning about to all doctors. When you have a gut feelinga about not getting a shot go with your gut. I hope this helps

Hi ,thanks for this information , my dr used a steroid called Triamcinolone. I think they all do the same thing but it would be interesting to find out if there is a steroid that doesn't have this effect on woman . I also have major cramps in my legs which it does have a warning on the sheet I get after my appt . Mine were so bad i went to urgent care and they told me to take robaxacet for my back pain and leg cramps as it has a muscle relaxer in it . So I take one in the daytime and one at night .so far it is helping . I was getting shots every four months and every time I had a period for at least a week .. I am going to try and see how long I can go without getting another one . I was also getting a treatment called IMS (Intramuscular Stimulation) which is like acupuncture but it’s very expensive in canada 🇨🇦 .
I appreciate all the information this blog gives everyone .
