Friends have developed diabetes from cortisone shots in the spine.
Creams or ointments containing cortisone may help control itching from insect bites, contact dermatitis, or eczema.
I have Aggressive Fibromatosis of the illiotibial band. The Cortisone shots relieved most of the pain involved with this. However it was only temporary lasting about 4-6 weeks. Most cortisone shots will give instant temporary relief..

In rare cases, repeated cortisone injections can potentially weaken tendons and cartilage, which may lead to joint damage over time. It's important to discuss the risks and benefits of cortisone shots with a healthcare provider and to use them judiciously.
yes cortisone shots can make you skip your period, and it can take up to 2 months for them to get straight again.
Yes, it is possible. The inflammation that you are having in the spinal region can cause white cell count elevation. Using the cortisone injections will decrease the inflammation and therefore the WBC count.
Even if it did, as long as you can prove it was administered by a doctor with a perscription, it's completely legal for you to have it.
On September 24, 2009.......I have an appointment to see my doctor, to get my meds refilled & get my cortisone shots in my hip. Thanks ever so much for asking. : )
Yes, epidural cortisone shots can potentially cause a transient increase in white blood cell count, particularly neutrophils, as corticosteroids can affect the immune system and lead to a mild inflammatory response. This increase is usually temporary and should not cause significant concern unless it persists or is accompanied by other symptoms. It is important to discuss any changes in blood test results with your healthcare provider.
