I am 61 and post menopause. Two weeks ago I had a cortisone shot in my shoulder for frozen shoulder. Today I am spotting and feel like I have my period. Sounds like this is a rare side effect of cortisone.

I thought it was too but the more i read about it the more it is more often than not . I don't think a lot of the dr are aware of it . What did your dr say to you about it ?
My gynecologist put me on vaginal estrogen but that didnt stop it . I have had three steroid shots now and all of them i have experienced bleeding . I have had all the test and even a D&C and all normal so not sure why it does that ? It would be nice to know if it is dangerous to keep getting the shots as they really help my back . Any info you find let me know … cheers vikki
