Hi there,

I think if you are having injections (I presume steroid injections??) from your doctor then they should be advising you regarding any risks so that you can make an informed consent to the procedure. With all medications or medical procedures there's always a balance between the cost vs benefit and I don't just mean cost in terms of money, but weighing up the positive gains vs potential negative/adverse effect. This is something only you can decide when in possession of all the information.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes,
