Years ago I got a steroid injection for 10 sailboat and my doctor got hit right in the spot I closed my eyes and I was praying to Jesus for it to go away and not to feel no pain I didn't feel no pain whatsoever from that day I have never had tennis elbow whatever it's called and it's been over about 20 years I had never got it back
They did jumped in but the other one was polite enough to let him express him self because they are both for the same matter...our health. I loved them
I fell in a hole. I have locking and a pulling sensation. Doc said I had arthritis in my knee but I am a walker and could walk miles. She said in older patients..I am 67 years young ..that arthroscopic surgery is no longer recommended even if it is a torn meniscus, so praying the locking stops with my cortisone shot. This was so good, so professional..
I just went to a orthopedic today and got a injection. The doctor said he'd fix the tennis elbow pain with one injection. So what I got from this is that the injection dulled the nerve fibers so less pain overall however with dulled pain I could potentially make the tendon worse by overworking during the healing process. I've been pretty worried about this because it's my career, I'm not a very good arborist if I can't pick up a chainsaw.
I’m a Retired Surgical Technologist, and 14 years ago when I was Scrubbing Sports Med at UCONN, I learned the down side of these injections during a procedure the Surgeons don’t inform you about. The Surgeon I was scrubbing with explained the recommendation is a limit of 3 within a calendar year at max. Anything more will accelerate the degeneration of the joint. On the flip side, even with less (but continued over a period of time) its the same result. The solution accumulates in the joint and builds up like a paste of Ajax wearing away the meniscus and articular cartilage, exasperating DJD eventually leading to Total Joint Replacement or Spinal Fusion. They help temporarily with 1-2 for inflammation but do NOT receive and more than that PERIOD.
How many times does only one or two shots work though? I have a doctor that wants to give me shots in both my hands, my feet. I am also having issues in my shoulders , my neck and my knees. So is she going to want to give it to me in all of those areas too? Like will that be safe for me and how long will the results last is what I am worried about. There has to be something safer for me to be taking for my body than these shots.
@@2lorishep It only helps bring down the inflammation of the joint for a few months depending on how progressive the degeneration is. If its within the early stage and the cartilage isn’t damaged yet, you may be good with only one, but if there is instability due to ligament damage it will accelerate the problem.
I found out that hard way that one of the potential side effects doctors don't tell you about or even admit is leg cramping. I had a injection in my knee a month ago and ever since I've gotten multiple leg cramps at night - up to double digits. I've had leg cramps before, but never more than one per night and infrequently, usually when I'm dehydrated. I called the doctor's office to report the problem and to see what I could do about it and they wouldn't even talk to me. All they did was have the nurse lie and tell the receptionist that the cramps weren't related to the cortisone shot. The cramps started right after the shot and no other variable has changed. I asked the receptionist to have the nurse call me back and she never did.
Got both knees injected with cortisone about a month ago. It's miraculous because before that, I could not walk--for 4 months! Now, I'm starting a carnivore diet which should get rid of the osteoarthritis altogether but the cortisone bought me some time. It's the best!
@@trafficjon400 It's not an herb cure. A keto or carnivore diet will regrow the collagen. It takes a while--like a year--but people don't need knee, hip, ankle, etc., replacement with a proper diet. I got my cortisone shots over one year ago--still, no pain. That's because of my diet, no longer the cortisone, obviously.
I had alopecia areata. Had 5 cycles of Corticosteroid injections at the affected area. Doctor also overdosed as effect was not showing up. In 2 months after the last dose one of my knee swell up. Upon MRI I found my ACL had mucoid degeneration and complete rupture. Doctor kept asking ke what injury I had, I said none. I just did normal cycling which I was doing for years. It took me almost a year of research to find out my knee ACL ruptured because of the steroid. Wish the cosmetic hair doctor had warned me in advance. I needed the healthy knee much more than healthy hair. 😢
I have rupture disc and bulging disc 7 months going. Still have pain when I do too much . I declined to take injection cause I know about 7 people say it did not help them and they all have side effect like bleeding too much irregular period some end up removing their ovary. Some got injure more in different places . Some have heart attack and anxiety. On my seventh month I try taking joint supplements three different kinds all at once with high doses it had help so much.
I hurt my back the first time at 18 broke horses from 16 to 40 and I got hurt many times between that time took many many spine epidural shots but something I didn't know about them steroidal epidural shots is they can cause a very very aggressive type of cataracts not the type we all have to a certain degree but I mean a type that will blind you in a short time this time last year I could see great love shooting long rang with high power rifles and in a year I went to where I just couldn't see good past the end of my hand up close stick a thread through the eye of a needle went to get glasses eye doctor asked me if I had took a lot of them epidural shots I said yes why he told me you have a very aggressive type of cataract caused by them shots I said what I know my sight had went to hell in a year he said because of them cataracts their not like we all have to a certain degree the ones you got has only been seen in people taking a lot of spinal epidurals and if I didn't have eye surgery on both eyes with in six months I'll be blind so next Month I have eye surgery I had never been told anything about that before or I wouldn't of let anyone give me one just something I wanted to share with you
This was posted 2 years ago.. its 3-14-23. I've had a cortisone shot 2 weeks ago and it has helped my knee, but..I have developed high blood sugar from it. Every morning I wake up and I'm miserable. I will never get another one. I was fine till I got the shot.
@@shoreamaze177 Im sorry your dealing with this issue too..some people I've told, think I'm crazy. But I never had a problem with my blood sugar until I took the shot. Ill never get another one! I did find a supplement that is helping quite a bit its, " Beberine with Ceylon Cinnamon..Dr.Mandel suggested it. It has helped me. I got it off Amazon. What all are you experiencing? I will pray for you.🙋♀️🙏🙏
I have RA/OA and I have always refused steroid injections and I always will. Docs never warn of the risks and are way to liberal with using them for everything. There's no informed consent because we're not informed. I also have epilepsy and it can affect that too.
I have torn hip labrums, herniated discs and stenosis. Ever since I moved to PA from NYC,the doctors insist that all I have is arthritis and Cortizone shots will help me regain function.
Thanks for the information guys. I get shots in both of my knees every three to five most..It really helps with pain..I hear my knees are bone on bone..but! I am not interested in the high risk of knee replacements yet.
A steroid injection is very effective to soften a subcutaneous keloid that is limiting muscle movement after a surgery. But the injection is placed around the keloid and not deep. Often only one is needed. Multiple injections are not recommended.
Unfortunately no comments regarding hip arthritis, specifically when the case is severe like bone and bone hip arthritis, will the injection help while waiting for cirugía ? I would appreciate an answer or comment thanks !
I got a shot in my feet for my plantar fasciitis a couple months ago and it was quite painful and was not fun and triggered my insomnia for about a week/week and a half :( thankfully though my pain has improved tremendously
Oh no!!!! Sorry to hear that ... The pain for me did come back after a while maybe a month or so I can't remember exactly but not nearly as bad as it used to be
I got one in my foot and the pain was bad enough that I would never do it again. The pain was gone for approximately 3 weeks and the pain was well worth it, but unfortunately it came back.
I hope you see this I have tendon and ligament damage in my ankle my specialist wants me to go for a cordizone shot in my ankle... Should I he says I also have austio arthritis in the ankle... I'm worried now
I’ve beeen having problems with my left knee swollen build up fluid Had a scope done on my knee and it still didn’t work I had two gel injections. Still nothing Now they want to do Cortizone I have done almost everything you can think of physical therapy nothing seems to work. I’m frustrated depressed you name it I’ve been through it with my knee I banged it on the coffee table. hasn’t been the same after that it’s bad.
How long does it take for an injection to work? I had mine a week ago and hasn’t helped. I have bicep pain and had a subacromial injection and hasn’t helped my bicep pain
HELP!! After 10 monthes with Plantar fasciites i decided to get some cortison injections. After some weeks without pain i went back to the tennis court. So i ruptured my plantar fascia. After another 9 weeks without sports i am hesitant to start running. My question being: are these side effects of those injections reversable? Or is this area forever prone to injury ? Dont wanna be scared forever.
What choices of steroid are available for adhesive capsulitis ? My Dr has only given me betamethasone with bupivacaine and it’s not very effective. Any other steroid used for this?
I lost my mother . Dealing with Guilt? My mother had severe back and leg pain that she was unable to bear and her daily life was badly affected because she was unable to move . Pain was so severe that she has to take frequently pain killer meds with heavy dosage . After checking with many neurosurgeons , we decided to proceed with one. Most of the Neurosurgeons were advising Spinal Surgery because as per MRI report she has Degenerated disc disease and her nerves at L4 S5 was compressed . Apart from local neurosurgeons , we had also taken advise from international neurosurgeons to go for better decision. So finally after collecting all suggestions we proceeded with the procedure. We were asked by neurosurgeon to get test of HbA1c for my mother diabetes. Test was performed and result was 10.1 He informed that my mother diabetes was poorly controlled and its quite risky to proceed for her surgery immediately . Since she had severe pain we can give her " Transforaminal steroid shot to control the pain . We were advised to consult endocrinologist to control her diabetes . This was the similar suggestion given to us by 5 international neurosurgeons prior to spinal surgery. My mother pain was so severe that we need to take immediate action because sometime she was getting unconscious and her skin color was turning blue due to chronic pain. We decided to proceed with steroid injection as advised by our neurosurgeon . Injection was given and my mother got relief from her chronic pain. I suggested to keep my mother in hospital for observation after the steroid injection but our surgeon refused this suggestion by saying that it is quite routine procedure and nothing to worry for. Next morning , my mother started to complain about headaches and similar back pain again. We informed our neurosurgeon and he advised some pain killers . By evening , her condition got worse. Her BP was 200 , High Fever and she was complaining about severe headache . At this time she totally forgot her back and leg pain and her focus was about her headaches . I informed this situation to our neurosurgeon and he asked us to come in emergency . At this time my mother started to experience hallucination and altered mental condition. We took her to hospital with these symptoms where doctors performed multiple test ( CT SCAN , MRI with Contrast) and they came to know that she has developed "Bacterial Meningitis with hydrocephalus " also she got abscess pockets at her epidural layers of spinal cord. it was totally shocking for us and upon asking the neurosurgeon , he simply replied that she has Spinal Abscess prior to injection and it was misdiagnosed as Sciatica pain. Steroid injection has trigged the infection . We were advised to proceed with immediate surgery to drain the abscess . Surgery went well and my mom pain started to reduce. Now next thing was Hydrocephalus which was causing pressure on heart . He also advised to pass the shunt to remove excessive water from brain. We proceeded with this advise as well . Her surgery went well . After spending 9 days in ICU now my mom is feeling better and conscious but she developed short term memory issue. After two weeks of follow up visit , neurosurgeon performed some test again and noticed that Abscess was coming again. He suggested us to proceed for second surgery immediately and we followed his advised. She was getting better but her hydrocephalus was not getting cured. She was on medicine for that. Almost near to her recovery from second surgery , she contracted by Covid 19 and her symptoms were severe due to immune deficiency . I lost my mother on 12th oct 2020 due to cardiac arrest at Covid 19 ICU. I did my best to save her life but all my efforts were in vain. Now ever day almost i am getting these episodes of panic attacks and I am blaming myself that i could have taken better steps to save her life. I really did my best but my inner me is not accepting it and I feel that I am left with no purpose to continue my life . i am breathing but i am lifeless now. I am getting suicidal thoughts as well . I am blaming myself a lot.
Please ..Do not end your life .. pain from grief is a lot like lava. It burns. Let it burn so that you may feel heal and release it to God beca with love support and a good therapist You Are Not Alone.
It sounds like you did evertyhthing from your mum..and you should feel guilty at all. Your mom passing away had nothing to do with you. Rest in peace to your mum. Wish you all the best.
I just got my shot yesterday, and I just started to feel bad and my face is all RED and terrible headache. Just took 2 benadryl, this is the second time this has happened to me after the cortazone shot ??
How long was your face swollen I got one on Friday and my whole head is swollen and I broke out in hives I took the Benadryl shot two days ago I just want my head to go down
How long do corticosteroids stay in the system? I got an 80 mg depo-medrol IM in the shoulder. I was in so much pain I just wanted to be out of pain. Didn't ask how long does the medication stay in your system. How long do the effects last?
@@cerisekarpinski9697 Kenelog ate a big hole in my friends but side about allmost 2 inches and 1 1/2 deep and painfull. pain is gone but the hole still trying to heal a year as shes made like this now..
I had cortisone for knee inflammation and it helped a lot. But then I had again for my hand pain then I have shoulder pain and I might have to have. 3 years and 2 injections. It is like once you have it you want it because you know the pain will go away. My knee never really heal only with high strength vitamin c daily.
Hello Dr. Luks, I got a steroid shot in my knee 5 days ago, and my knee has been swollen and in pain since then. Now that I watched your video, I'm not sure why my doctor gave me one in the first place. I'm young, active, and my pain was just 2/10, but I wanted to ask if it is normal for swelling to last this long after the shot. I called the doctor's office, but they're closed because of Thanksgiving. Id really appreciate some guidance. Thanks!
Ya know, I had a cortisone shot in my right knee 4 years ago and my right knee never hurt again, so now I had a shot in my left kne and am Hoping it will be the same, however Im 4 years older, and my left knee was Extremely painful, more so then my right.It took the pain away the next day after the shot..The cortisone shot was a miricle to me...
@@cwb0051 Ya i have been suffering 5 years from that injection 5 years ago and use to be a person. See the trusting doctor who cared he Got his profit and this.
What about injections for trigger finger? If you can is it best to wait it out without it or are the risks minimal? risks being tendon or muscle damage. I am a musician am afraid to loose any strength or dexterity in the fingers.
I had nerve root block and steroids in my cervical c4 c5 c6 c7, I have diabetes my levels have been to low now eleven days after I have an upper respiratory infection like I have ever had, I'm coughing till I'm sick, could the steroid of been a cause of catching it
In summer 2020 i was at a club in greece and something bit me while i was removing a chair for me to sit down for a bit...I dont know what insect it was but my hand was swolen and became huge...then i went to the hospital and they did a cortisone injection on my bum...After 2 days my back was full of pimples!!!I guess it was from cortisone...
I hope you get an answer I'm getting a shot on Thursday. I have really high anxiety especially when it come to taking any kind of medication. I'm afraid I will end up with a panic attack.
When I need a shot for something.....most recent was heel spur, my doc will give me a Valium. That’s the only way I don’t freak out, or just don’t do it.
I am 40yo. I had this done by the doctor 3 times. right elbow 7 years ago, right shoulder 2 years ago, now left elbow (I play tennis). It miraculously and completely cured the problem and pain. No side effects. There are no scientific studies that prove there are side effects. I cannot imagine doing this daily. Then it means it has no effect on you so no point in taking it. The injection is not more painful than any simple shot anywhere in the body. the arm hurts a little a few hours after the shot.
@Ron Dale Agree. more than less might do better but many do not. Must be related to your DNA and why the FDA did not aprove Steroids for as long as they did.
I got my shot in my right shoulder today and I'm feeling better ,, however I'm feeling extremely hot! Hot flushes a day it's winter in South Africa. Anyone else?
@Ron Dale My Doctor wrote out a page Said i was effected by Steroid induced like Cushings syndrome. 5 years and still recovering. Phsychoses was not good iether. plus i broozed easly for about 3 months. but the phsycjoses Steoid rage still slowly going as i hope.
My question is how long should I wait before I go back to weight training, after taking cortisone injections for my shoulder and elbow, recently took 3 injections. I use only moderate weights, training at home. I guess I should start with light weights and go back gradually to my old routine so I don't risk getting my shoulder injured again (tendinitis). Please comments.
If you are not sending your clients to a Physio for these complaints you might be just milking them and in the long term creating a more significant injury. Particularly at the shoulder; bursa do not spontaneously get inflamed, esp the SA. More likely the supra spinatus tendon is creating friction in excess of the bursa capacity to remit. Positive resisted empty/ full can test will prove RC involvement. Tight pec min also contributes to poor mechanics at this joint.
I had two injections and my osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia pain went out of control and I'm not sure if I'll ever get back in remission. I inject bee venom for pain and it's antiinflammatory effects are amazing and has no side effects! pay attention to natural holistic ways!!!
What about severe spinal stenosis with multiple bulging discs. I have had this condition for over 40 years. I usually get even more relief from going to the gym working my abs especially. Because of a really bad fractured toe my orthopedic surgeon told me to not go to the gym due the past history. Anti- inflammatory drugs do only mild to moderate relief of pain. Tylenol works better but due to some of its possible side effects I do not take it regularly. ( I like my liver ). Note. I 76 years old and with exercise I do infinitely better. So I highly recommend exercise. I also keep my weight down.
The 12th of Dec. 2019, I am scheduled for my knee injection,i have been getting every 3 months. I am considering stopping my injections. I have lost 38 lbs. of body weight, doing keto , progressed to carnivore diet, since the last injection.My pain is not noticeable now.I will request an xray To see if had any improvements, and from that decide!! I think the cortisone, may have an effect on my weight loss. ??
Would not want to find out. keep that fucking poison away from me ? it all most killed me and took 8 years of my life and still weaiting for full back.
Herniated disc, Disc bulge, spinal stenosis. All I hear is it's not bad enough for surgery, but push the shots!! Pain management doc keeps saying I need surgery, but I tell him they say they don't want to do it...He actually said alot of Doctors don't want to operate on t4,t5,t6,t7,t8. Fucking horrible..It's like going to get an oil change and they only wash your car..Do you fucking job surgeons.
I got a cortisone shot in my ganglion cyst on my wrist..After around 1.5 months the skin around the site started getting pale.Is it possible yo have hypopigmentation due to that?
Hello will a steroid ejection cause anxiety. I have anxiety with taking any medication. I'm worried it will give me anxiety or possibly a panic attack.
i can relate to how you feel, my anxiety is over the top, one time, i went to the hospital because i was afraid, i would die if i laughed to much or too hard.lol
Orthopedics needs offer pain management. OA in shoulder nerves can often benefit from cervical epidural within days. Also joint sensory nerve oblations, can give nearly instant pain relief and also months after operations, sensory nerve oblations are a game changer to help with rehabilitation. Pain management and Orthopedics need to work more together, my experience as a Pt.

Better hope your adrenal Glands cortisol immune levels are the same as they were be for the last one. if not this one would be in for a rude awakening?
Hi Gents, I had two injections, they caused an embolic stroke. I have now dizziness, pain off the scale. I would say to everyone, avoid these injections as they can kill you.
@@davidharcot220 hi David, when the consultant did the injection I blacked out, unknown to me at that time was the injection caused an embolic stroke. The first 4 blackouts were TIAs leading to the massive stroke. I had a rare frontal lobe infarction along with an embolic shower that hit me all over the right side of my brain. I have been recovering ever since. I am now almost four years on, I still suffer from debilitating fatigue, dizziness, and generally feeling awful most of the time. Having spoken with the stroke consultants, I understand that I am lucky compared to most people who just don't make it back from four embolic strokes. The hours of medical research i have conducted on Cortisone flare shows it is far more common than the manufactures would like you to know. As for kill you, yes, all most killed me. My life has been destroyed by the injection, I lost my home, my business, and all I had. I have had to re over from everything on my own as the NHS were less than useless with any form of post stroke help. I have had to relearn English, and maths as the brain damage took away far too much of me. I have posed a question regularly to consultants on how many people had these injections prior to having a stroke, how many people died due to it and it was unreported? In my opinion, based purely on open source information I would say one is too many and I am certain that as I research this subject more people will come forward with evidence. Be that imperical or anecdotal evidence I will do my best to analyse it, and once I have it, the controversial book I am writing will be published. In summary, do I whole heartedly believe that cortisone flare can kill? Yes, absolutely. I believe completely that cortisone should be removed from the medical profession as it is extremely dangerous. The percentage of people who put on weight, suffer chronic illness post injections is far too high and they and their symptoms are ignored. I hope that in some way I have at least given you a balanced opinion based on my own experience and the experience of others. I am always interested in hearing others experiences on how it affected them, or if they had no problems at all. My injection was in the neck about first rib T1 and I suffer from nerve pain from that area every day. All the best

I had a shot for hip bursitis and another in the joint for osteo arthritis. So much relief it's unbelievable. Gonna get prp in 3 months x 2 . In the meantime plan to get back some muscle mass on the bad hip side .
I thank God and you doctors that these injections exist. It is much better than a laminectomy in my case. I have a lumbar stenosis due to a car accident and also due to arthritis in the body. We have to be very careful what we eat even before the age of 30 because our body makes us pay big price. Thanks to these injections, I can walk a little bit better. I can’t consider the surgery as there are too many risks. More risks than steroid injections.
Not for me and ones i know call Dexamethisone steroids and you don't understand dosage and basically your condiction so no all steroids are not safe. it depends on the person and exceptence as your one who has a body that does not reject it but also your dose and what king was not explained you take some thing lite . i eat healthy meals and no ones going have to struggle on what diet they need for most doctors dont have much a fucking clue on Food and what you eat is correct at any given time. Steroids can and are for many a grave problem and also a fact that the FDA in the past 40 years never approved Steroids .

Thats good for the time being. just hope you don't go through what some do. depending on your adrenal glands immune DNA. Other wise you come out ok.
Got both knees injected with cortisone about a month ago. It's miraculous because before that, I could not walk--for 4 months! Now, I'm starting a carnivore diet which should get rid of the osteoarthritis altogether but the cortisone bought me some time. It's the best!

I had alopecia areata. Had 5 cycles of Corticosteroid injections at the affected area. Doctor also overdosed as effect was not showing up.
In 2 months after the last dose one of my knee swell up. Upon MRI I found my ACL had mucoid degeneration and complete rupture. Doctor kept asking ke what injury I had, I said none. I just did normal cycling which I was doing for years.
It took me almost a year of research to find out my knee ACL ruptured because of the steroid. Wish the cosmetic hair doctor had warned me in advance.

I have rupture disc and bulging disc 7 months going. Still have pain when I do too much . I declined to take injection cause I know about 7 people say it did not help them and they all have side effect like bleeding too much irregular period some end up removing their ovary. Some got injure more in different places . Some have heart attack and anxiety. On my seventh month I try taking joint supplements three different kinds all at once with high doses it had help so much.
I hurt my back the first time at 18 broke horses from 16 to 40 and I got hurt many times between that time took many many spine epidural shots but something I didn't know about them steroidal epidural shots is they can cause a very very aggressive type of cataracts not the type we all have to a certain degree but I mean a type that will blind you in a short time this time last year I could see great love shooting long rang with high power rifles and in a year I went to where I just couldn't see good past the end of my hand up close stick a thread through the eye of a needle went to get glasses eye doctor asked me if I had took a lot of them epidural shots I said yes why he told me you have a very aggressive type of cataract caused by them shots I said what I know my sight had went to hell in a year he said because of them cataracts their not like we all have to a certain degree the ones you got has only been seen in people taking a lot of spinal epidurals and if I didn't have eye surgery on both eyes with in six months I'll be blind so next Month I have eye surgery I had never been told anything about that before or I wouldn't of let anyone give me one just something I wanted to share with you
This was posted 2 years ago.. its 3-14-23. I've had a cortisone shot 2 weeks ago and it has helped my knee, but..I have developed high blood sugar from it. Every morning I wake up and I'm miserable. I will never get another one. I was fine till I got the shot.
Omg tell me why im experiencing the same shit, all kind of health problems
@@shoreamaze177
Im sorry your dealing with this issue too..some people I've told, think I'm crazy. But I never had a problem with my blood sugar until I took the shot. Ill never get another one! I did find a supplement that is helping quite a bit its, " Beberine with Ceylon Cinnamon..Dr.Mandel suggested it. It has helped me. I got it off Amazon. What all are you experiencing? I will pray for you.🙋♀️🙏🙏
I have RA/OA and I have always refused steroid injections and I always will. Docs never warn of the risks and are way to liberal with using them for everything. There's no informed consent because we're not informed. I also have epilepsy and it can affect that too.
Thanks for being a honest one. Otherwise most just meed surgery that works
I have torn hip labrums, herniated discs and stenosis. Ever since I moved to PA from NYC,the doctors insist that all I have is arthritis and Cortizone shots will help me regain function.
U said that right, most health problems don’t have a cure just a bandaid. Especially cancer. So sad.
Thank you Doctors for the information..
Thats because the shots are a money maker and cheaper for insurance companies Whom push it over paying for surgery
Thanks for the information guys. I get shots in both of my knees every three to five most..It really helps with pain..I hear my knees are bone on bone..but! I am not interested in the high risk of knee replacements yet.
Just had both mine done yesterday
Thank God for Opiate Medications ! Please Dr's don't let the law makers take your medical freedoms away from you any more then they already have.
Opioids are harder to get now, even the pain management doctors are afraid to prescribe them
Well done ! It was very informative , and help when I talk to my surgeon ! Thanks very much !
A steroid injection is very effective to soften a subcutaneous keloid that is limiting muscle movement after a surgery. But the injection is placed around the keloid and not deep. Often only one is needed. Multiple injections are not recommended.
you never even addressed the back such as the lower back
I just had a cortisone injection in my shoulder and within a ten hours the shoulder really hurt. Ouch, still.
Same here but was posterior approach cortisone injection and it should be lateral approach cortisone injection. Best result.
Unfortunately no comments regarding hip arthritis, specifically when the case is severe like bone and bone hip arthritis, will the injection help while waiting for cirugía ? I would appreciate an answer or comment thanks !
I got a shot in my feet for my plantar fasciitis a couple months ago and it was quite painful and was not fun and triggered my insomnia for about a week/week and a half :( thankfully though my pain has improved tremendously
lucky you. I got 3 shots in each foot and it did NOTHING!!!
Oh no!!!! Sorry to hear that ... The pain for me did come back after a while maybe a month or so I can't remember exactly but not nearly as bad as it used to be
I got one in my foot and the pain was bad enough that I would never do it again. The pain was gone for approximately 3 weeks and the pain was well worth it, but unfortunately it came back.
Same thing and my pain vanished 100%

HELP!!
After 10 monthes with Plantar fasciites i decided to get some cortison injections.
After some weeks without pain i went back to the tennis court.
So i ruptured my plantar fascia.
After another 9 weeks without sports i am hesitant to start running.
My question being: are these side effects of those injections reversable?
Or is this area forever prone to injury ?
Dont wanna be scared forever.
how many is too many shots. ive had a RC, AC a soon a glenohumerial shot.
Thank you very much Dr. did cortisone injections make me fat for how long after
i take the injection?
What choices of steroid are available for adhesive capsulitis ? My Dr has only given me betamethasone with bupivacaine and it’s not very effective. Any other steroid used for this?
I lost my mother . Dealing with Guilt?
My mother had severe back and leg pain that she was unable to bear and her daily life was badly affected because she was unable to move . Pain was so severe that she has to take frequently pain killer meds with heavy dosage .
After checking with many neurosurgeons , we decided to proceed with one. Most of the Neurosurgeons were advising Spinal Surgery because as per MRI report she has Degenerated disc disease and her nerves at L4 S5 was compressed .
Apart from local neurosurgeons , we had also taken advise from international neurosurgeons to go for better decision.
So finally after collecting all suggestions we proceeded with the procedure.
We were asked by neurosurgeon to get test of HbA1c for my mother diabetes. Test was performed and result was 10.1
He informed that my mother diabetes was poorly controlled and its quite risky to proceed for her surgery immediately . Since she had severe pain we can give her " Transforaminal steroid shot to control the pain . We were advised to consult endocrinologist to control her diabetes .
This was the similar suggestion given to us by 5 international neurosurgeons prior to spinal surgery.
My mother pain was so severe that we need to take immediate action because sometime she was getting unconscious and her skin color was turning blue due to chronic pain.
We decided to proceed with steroid injection as advised by our neurosurgeon . Injection was given and my mother got relief from her chronic pain. I suggested to keep my mother in hospital for observation after the steroid injection but our surgeon refused this suggestion by saying that it is quite routine procedure and nothing to worry for.
Next morning , my mother started to complain about headaches and similar back pain again. We informed our neurosurgeon and he advised some pain killers . By evening , her condition got worse. Her BP was 200 , High Fever and she was complaining about severe headache . At this time she totally forgot her back and leg pain and her focus was about her headaches . I informed this situation to our neurosurgeon and he asked us to come in emergency . At this time my mother started to experience hallucination and altered mental condition.
We took her to hospital with these symptoms where doctors performed multiple test ( CT SCAN , MRI with Contrast) and they came to know that she has developed "Bacterial Meningitis with hydrocephalus " also she got abscess pockets at her epidural layers of spinal cord.
it was totally shocking for us and upon asking the neurosurgeon , he simply replied that she has Spinal Abscess prior to injection and it was misdiagnosed as Sciatica pain. Steroid injection has trigged the infection .
We were advised to proceed with immediate surgery to drain the abscess . Surgery went well and my mom pain started to reduce. Now next thing was Hydrocephalus which was causing pressure on heart . He also advised to pass the shunt to remove excessive water from brain. We proceeded with this advise as well . Her surgery went well . After spending 9 days in ICU now my mom is feeling better and conscious but she developed short term memory issue.
After two weeks of follow up visit , neurosurgeon performed some test again and noticed that Abscess was coming again.
He suggested us to proceed for second surgery immediately and we followed his advised.
She was getting better but her hydrocephalus was not getting cured. She was on medicine for that.
Almost near to her recovery from second surgery , she contracted by Covid 19 and her symptoms were severe due to immune deficiency .
I lost my mother on 12th oct 2020 due to cardiac arrest at Covid 19 ICU.
I did my best to save her life but all my efforts were in vain.
Now ever day almost i am getting these episodes of panic attacks and I am blaming myself that i could have taken better steps to save her life. I really did my best but my inner me is not accepting it and I feel that I am left with no purpose to continue my life . i am breathing but i am lifeless now.
I am getting suicidal thoughts as well . I am blaming myself a lot.
I am so sorry for ur lost
I think she knows u did ur best and it was her time to go and rest may God rest her in peace now
Please ..Do not end your life .. pain from grief is a lot like lava. It burns. Let it burn so that you may feel heal and release it to God beca with love support and a good therapist

Hello Dr. Luks, I got a steroid shot in my knee 5 days ago, and my knee has been swollen and in pain since then. Now that I watched your video, I'm not sure why my doctor gave me one in the first place. I'm young, active, and my pain was just 2/10, but I wanted to ask if it is normal for swelling to last this long after the shot. I called the doctor's office, but they're closed because of Thanksgiving. Id really appreciate some guidance. Thanks!

Go for it bro. Not much risks

Can a shot cause anxiety and insomnia? Thx
In summer 2020 i was at a club in greece and something bit me while i was removing a chair for me to sit down for a bit...I dont know what insect it was but my hand was swolen and became huge...then i went to the hospital and they did a cortisone injection on my bum...After 2 days my back was full of pimples!!!I guess it was from cortisone...

Did you ever get an answer on this? I just got a shot a few days ago and I'm miserable with anxiety and insomnia and want to know how this will last 😭
i feel the same as you guys, do you still have those symptoms?
I hope you get an answer I'm getting a shot on Thursday. I have really high anxiety especially when it come to taking any kind of medication. I'm afraid I will end up with a panic attack.
When I need a shot for something.....most recent was heel spur, my doc will give me a Valium. That’s the only way I don’t freak out, or just don’t do it.
Usually it lasts 3 years so good luck.
Judicious use of corticosteroids is good to improve quality of life. Not true that corticosteroid is bad, but with utmost caution
Ya but it Makes high profit and one simple injection is big bucks.
I am 40yo. I had this done by the doctor 3 times. right elbow 7 years ago, right shoulder 2 years ago, now left elbow (I play tennis). It miraculously and completely cured the problem and pain. No side effects. There are no scientific studies that prove there are side effects. I cannot imagine doing this daily. Then it means it has no effect on you so no point in taking it. The injection is not more painful than any simple shot anywhere in the body. the arm hurts a little a few hours after the shot.
Not evryone the same
Super! Have shoulder cortisone in the lateral approach if you are a woman. Better result!
@Ron Dale Agree. more than less might do better but many do not. Must be related to your DNA and why the FDA did not aprove Steroids for as long as they did.
Had a shot in the elbow less than 24hrs completely cured. That was over 10 yrs ago
No, they’re not safe, nor are they FDA approved for safety and efficacy.
This is a great video.

My question is how long should I wait before I go back to weight training, after taking cortisone injections for my shoulder and elbow, recently took 3 injections. I use only moderate weights, training at home. I guess I should start with light weights and go back gradually to my old routine so I don't risk getting my shoulder injured again (tendinitis). Please comments.
How is your shoulder now when u train
Speak with physical therapist first!
They said the America Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons recommends against cortisone for knee pain 5:00 Wish I'd known that.
If you are not sending your clients to a Physio for these complaints you might be just milking them and in the long term creating a more significant injury.
Particularly at the shoulder; bursa do not spontaneously get inflamed, esp the SA. More likely the supra spinatus tendon is creating friction in excess of the bursa capacity to remit. Positive resisted empty/ full can test will prove RC involvement. Tight pec min also contributes to poor mechanics at this joint.
I have a shot every 6 months no problem I’m 66 and have done this for 23 years
Many thanks doctors!
I had two injections and my osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia pain went out of control and I'm not sure if I'll ever get back in remission. I inject bee venom for pain and it's antiinflammatory effects are amazing and has no side effects! pay attention to natural holistic ways!!!
What about severe spinal stenosis with multiple bulging discs. I have had this condition for over 40 years. I usually get even more relief from going to the gym working my abs especially. Because of a really bad fractured toe my orthopedic surgeon told me to not go to the gym due the past history. Anti- inflammatory drugs do only mild to moderate relief of pain. Tylenol works better but due to some of its possible side effects I do not take it regularly. ( I like my liver ). Note. I 76 years old and with exercise I do infinitely better. So I highly recommend exercise. I also keep my weight down.
What about for dequarvain tendinitis?
The 12th of Dec. 2019, I am scheduled for my knee injection,i have been getting every 3 months. I am considering stopping my injections.
I have lost 38 lbs. of body weight, doing keto , progressed to carnivore diet, since the last injection.My pain is not noticeable now.I will request an xray
To see if had any improvements, and from that decide!! I think the cortisone, may have an effect on my weight loss. ??
How about the si joint? How many times can this be done?
Would not want to find out. keep that fucking poison away from me ? it all most killed me and took 8 years of my life and still weaiting for full back.
I didn’t want to do it..It was injected on my wrist months later my wrist looks deformed now and it still hurts..my advice is don’t do it!!!
Its why FDA never approved steroids they have way to many worse injury Complaints.
Herniated disc, Disc bulge, spinal stenosis. All I hear is it's not bad enough for surgery, but push the shots!! Pain management doc keeps saying I need surgery, but I tell him they say they don't want to do it...He actually said alot of Doctors don't want to operate on t4,t5,t6,t7,t8. Fucking horrible..It's like going to get an oil change and they only wash your car..Do you fucking job surgeons.
I got the shots for my lower back and leg pain.
What did you decide to do?
I got a cortisone shot in my ganglion cyst on my wrist..After around 1.5 months the skin around the site started getting pale.Is it possible yo have hypopigmentation due to that?
Hello will a steroid ejection cause anxiety. I have anxiety with taking any medication. I'm worried it will give me anxiety or possibly a panic attack.

I say no will make you feel better as you no it will work
Audio sucks from the person asking questions sideways in the chair unprofessional.
Orthopedics needs offer pain management. OA in shoulder nerves can often benefit from cervical epidural within days.
Also joint sensory nerve oblations, can give nearly instant pain relief and also months after operations, sensory nerve oblations are a game changer to help with rehabilitation.
Pain management and Orthopedics need to work more together, my experience as a Pt.

Hi Gents,
I had two injections, they caused an embolic stroke. I have now dizziness, pain off the scale. I would say to everyone, avoid these injections as they can kill you.
what do you mean saying AS THEY CAN KILL YOU literally??
@@davidharcot220 hi David, when the consultant did the injection I blacked out, unknown to me at that time was the injection caused an embolic stroke. The first 4 blackouts were TIAs leading to the massive stroke. I had a rare frontal lobe infarction along with an embolic shower that hit me all over the right side of my brain. I have been recovering ever since. I am now almost four years on, I still suffer from debilitating fatigue, dizziness, and generally feeling awful most of the time.
Having spoken with the stroke consultants, I understand that I am lucky compared to most people who just don't make it back from four embolic strokes.
The hours of medical research i have conducted on Cortisone flare shows it is far more common than the manufactures would like you to know.
As for kill you, yes, all most killed me. My life has been destroyed by the injection, I lost my home, my business, and all I had.
I have had to re over from everything on my own as the NHS were less than useless with any form of post stroke help. I have had to relearn English, and maths as the brain damage took away far too much of me.
I have posed a question regularly to consultants on how many people had these injections prior to having a stroke, how many people died due to it and it was unreported? In my opinion, based purely on open source information I would say one is too many and I am certain that as I research this subject more people will come forward with evidence. Be that imperical or anecdotal evidence I will do my best to analyse it, and once I have it, the controversial book I am writing will be published.
In summary, do I whole heartedly believe that cortisone flare can kill? Yes, absolutely. I believe completely that cortisone should be removed from the medical profession as it is extremely dangerous. The percentage of people who put on weight, suffer chronic illness post injections is far too high and they and their symptoms are ignored.
I hope that in some way I have at least given you a balanced opinion based on my own experience and the experience of others. I am always interested in hearing others experiences on how it affected them, or if they had no problems at all. My injection was in the neck about first rib T1 and I suffer from nerve pain from that area every day.
All the best

I had a shot for hip bursitis and another in the joint for osteo arthritis. So much relief it's unbelievable. Gonna get prp in 3 months x 2 .
In the meantime plan to get back some muscle mass on the bad hip side .
I thank God and you doctors that these injections exist. It is much better than a laminectomy in my case. I have a lumbar stenosis due to a car accident and also due to arthritis in the body. We have to be very careful what we eat even before the age of 30 because our body makes us pay big price. Thanks to these injections, I can walk a little bit better. I can’t consider the surgery as there are too many risks. More risks than steroid injections.
Not for me and ones i know call Dexamethisone steroids and you don't understand dosage and basically your condiction so no all steroids are not safe. it depends on the person and exceptence as your one who has a body that does not reject it but also your dose and what king was not explained you take some thing lite . i eat healthy meals and no ones going have to struggle on what diet they need for most doctors dont have much a fucking clue on Food and what you eat is correct at any given time. Steroids can and are for many a grave problem and also a fact that the FDA in the past 40 years never approved Steroids .
Just say it were screwed
