Thanks for your comment! I'm planning to do just that. My regular gynecologist retired 2 years ago and I'm having to find one (which I SHOULD have done when he did, lesson learned). I've been a nurse for over 40 years so I have heard of this bleeding happening after cortisone shots, just never seen it. Curious as to how often it happens considering the number of people that get these shots to help with joint pain. Will keep you posted!

Oh wow, that’s really interesting! I’ve never heard of bleeding as a side effect from cortisone shots. But you sparked my curiosity and I was surprised by the number of articles which popped up stating just that! I learned something new.
But I’d still have that checked out. ☺️
