I am 64 and had postmenapausal bleeding after a steroid injection in my back.I had bleeding about 20 days after the injection.I had a endometrial biopsy that was negative for cancer.The report said I had cystic atrophy.i am having a lot of back pain and need an injection.Is that safe?

i am now 67. I have experienced this too. 2 back injections, both resulting in uterine bleeding and subsequent d&Cs with general anesthesia. the injection doctors had 'never heard of it' and the obgyn said 'yes it is a known side effect'. my shots worked great, but the d+Cs make it too dangerous to try again with my current back pain unless they can mitigate this risk somehow.

If you find out if it's safe, let us know. I also in due to have more injections in my shoulders in June and not sure I want to because I figure if it's making me have bleeding I don't know what else it's doing to my body.
