Spotting Following Cortisone Injection

I had a cortisone shot on 9/29 mid week following the appointment I got such a hot flash that I couldn’t cool off. It was really strange Then this past Sat 10/7 I started bleeding. That shot is the only thing different. Went to the gyno today 10/9 she’s actually a Nurse Practitioner and promptly told me that she’s never heard of that, but I’ve been reading it all over the internet. I am 58 and went through menopause around age 49 to 51. I’m still bleeding enough that I’m wearing a panty liner and have to for an ultrasound at the gyno tomorrow. The first time I had menopausal bleeding I had the biopsy of my Uterus done. I’m really trying to think about this logically and rationally but I am scared, I’m freaking out because I don’t want it to be anything serious like cancer. I’m so freightened.

I’m worried as well. My doctor says it could be from the cortisone shot, but can’t rule out and anything else with out a biopsy. Mine is 11/6. Just glad I was able to get mine under general anesthesia. She was going to do in office with local.

How did ultra sound go. Mine is the 31st. Will be my 3rd on. Always after injection.

I had my very first cortisone shot on my right knee in Aug/2023. About 10 days later I started spotting for over a week! I’m 60 years old! Definitely caught me off guard. I see that it is happening to so many of us post menopausal women after getting the shot.
