Experiences with

Cortisone

At the beginning I was given a cortisone spray for asthma and at some point a cortisone ointment for the dermatitis. My odyssey began with the cortisone ointment because it made my dermatitis extremely worse instead of better.

I am 48 hours post cortisone injection and I'm still having a lot of deep aching pain mainly at night. Hoping it improves in time. Do any of you have experience with Hashimoto's and getting a cortisone injection for bursitis pain? Is there something special I should be doing for my recovery?

Has anyone been on cortisone for that long? Did it have many effects? Was weaning off very complicated? Thank you very much

I have a dear friend who doesn’t have an Mpn but is losing her hair in patches ( due to stress she thinks - husband has advanced Parkinson’s) She’s tried cortisone liquid to no avail. Has anyone found a cure for hair loss? Thanks so much Louise

Anyone have experience and/or advice?

I still haven't figured out if it's related to the venetoclax or the cortisone I'm taking because of my kidneys. Thank you and kind regards.

I had to have 5 cortisone injections into my ankle and metasal due to arthritis. I’ve noticed that since I had them my heart rate really drops. I’m 70 yrs old but noticed my resting heart rate drops to 44 - 56. It does rise during day. I had this before in February when I had a nerve block done.

Still on cortisone after 6 years now 6.25 mg. But my slow tapering doesn’t seem to affect my lumbar pain and stiffness. Does anyone else here suffer from this condition??

I got a call from hospital today to say that they can offer me antivirals as I’ve had cortisone and depo and I’m at day 5 of symptoms as apparently these injections lower your immunity ? ( not on RA drugs yet ). Anyone come across this? Must say excellent service from NHS . Thanks in advance ☺️

Went to St Luke's yesterday was in and out. First attempt missed. Second didn't really hurt just more intense pressure.The Dr was very nice and friendly. It was difficult to get to the hospital and parking. We just got lucky. I'm sore today but I have bursitis anyway.. I would recommend the procedure

Has anyone on here done this and how did you feel on the cortisone. Currently I get fatigued and have a lot of tingling in my face head hands and feet. 24/7 but worse when I'm fatigued. Otherwise I'm great and able to get on with life!

My arm is still really sore and I'm not sure whether to try a cortisone cream on it or perhaps calamine cream? I take an anti histamine daily.

Knee aspirated and 25ml taken and had cortisone. I was genuinely expecting my knee to have deflated but I measured it when I got home and it’s still 40cm , maybe I’m expecting too much 🙄😁.

hi i have and imade uterus biopsy that appeared problem in immunity and they prescribed intralipid infusion and i heard it s good for implantation also i took cortisone 20mg i have positive result in my own eggs but not continued then i transfer from donner eggs it didnt work i heared that ihave

My cortisone levels are quite high too, what’s the difference between cortisone and cortisol? Any advice would be greatly appreciated ❤️

I was given cortisone shot into knee and depo medrol into bum cheek last week.

I'm a 69 year old man with DDD and Arthritis and I had a cortisone injection in my SI joint about 6 weeks ago and it took care of about 50% of the pain.

But I also recall that 2 days prior to the clot pain starting, I had a cortisone injection (double dose) in the shoulder of that same arm. All of my health professionals have assured me that an injection in the shoulder cannot cause a clot in the hand.

Hi my fellow PMR suffers, has anyone had a cortisone shot while taking Pred, and was everything after, a little apprehensive xx

Then had an ultrasound cortisone shot in it which sorted it. So I saw my nhs rheumy consult privately to get all this done. He said I would need a three month follow up for the flare I was having which showed up in my bloods and which caused this and he would see me at the NHS clinic.
