Hi Everyone

Has anyone suffered a worsening of RLS after a cortisone injection in there back

Bone on bone , my RLS Is totally under control and I don’t wish to rock the boat.

Hi Shumbah.

I doubt if the cortisol itself should be a problem. Reducing inflammation should help RLS

I have IV cortisone every two weeks with no problem

Thank you so much Manerva for your reply ,it would be unimaginable to go back to my old life before buprenorphine.

Hopefully I hear some more good news stories 🤗

A year ago I had 2 cortisol shots in my foot for a Morton's neuroma and after the 2nd shot my RLegs actually improved tremendously for about 2-4 weeks. Eventually it did start up again but I thought the cortisol shot helped the RLegs. (I also have mine under control at this time but wouldn't hesitate to have another cortisol shot if needed since it seemed to have helped my RL problem as a nice side effect)
