Friends have developed diabetes from cortisone shots in the spine.
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.
Creams or ointments containing cortisone may help control itching from insect bites, contact dermatitis, or eczema.
Cortisone shots can cause facial flushing due to the drug's effects on blood vessels. Cortisone, a corticosteroid, can lead to vasodilation, which increases blood flow to the skin, resulting in a flushed appearance. Additionally, the body's response to the injection may trigger a temporary inflammatory reaction, further contributing to the flushing. This side effect is typically short-lived and resolves as the body adjusts to the medication.
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.
Cortisone shots can potentially lead to weight gain, but this effect is usually temporary. Cortisone is a type of steroid that can increase appetite and may cause fluid retention, which can contribute to weight gain. However, the amount of weight gain can vary among individuals, and not everyone will experience this side effect. It's essential to discuss any concerns with a healthcare provider before receiving a cortisone injection.
