Posts Tagged ‘cortisone’

My physician assistant said it is the oral steroids that cause this problem. He said the injections to the spine region do not cause the weight gain. I have had a couple people say they did gain weight due to the injections. Has anyone else had problems with the spinal epidural of cortisone, (steroid) causing weight gain? I am doing extensive research online to my disc disease and looking at all aspects which include those that have been through this. Thanks.
Thanks you all for the answers, they are helping me more than you know.

For years, I’ve had a bad case of eczema that has morphed into many different kinds of bad rashes, all over my body. I’ve been put from all types of cortisone creams to many pills and different types of steroids. Is it possible to develop a disease like cancer from taking so many different medicines like it’s possible to develop cancer from things like radiation?
I also have a higher than normal risk of getting cancer… I have to biopsy everything that looks suspicious.
