I am 18 years old. I have had itp for the last 5 years. Mt count is stable at 26. I am a keen sports woman and at present need a cortisone injection to help heal a hip injury. Is it safe to do so? I am getting no help or information from my dr at present and am getting more frustrated at not being able to take part in sports which even with itp is a huge part of my life.

Hello! I am just a little bit older than you (46) and have had diagnosed ITP for 15 years. I had a hip injury that wouldn't go away and when I eventually got to some quality physio, they pointed out that we are more likely to bleed into a joint and the way the body gets rid of a bleed in a joint is breakdown by movement, but if you have a big bruise/clot/bleed in the joint movement becomes restricted which reduces the movement which prevents the breakdown of the clot etc etc. Worth remembering.
Sorry I don't know about the pros and cons of the injection.
Thanks for that. Any info much appreciated
