Cortisone injection with liver disease

Hi everybody, perhaps you can help. My doctor has booked me in for a cortisone injection , I've seen the specialist and when I commented to him I have liver disease and I wasn't sure if it was a good idea his response was " ahh you'll be alright " ! Anybody had one? been advised not to have one ? I have gone from decompensated March 22 to compensated now and my lft's are normal my heptologist said. But it just seems quite a flippant remark " you'll be alright " ... Don't want to mess anything up ... Thank you in advance
