Oh, and btw, I am only on the pills. And it caused me to bleed. I am also on Asprin therapy so my bleeding threshold is low but I can only assume, with the info above, the prednisone is causing it. I will call my doctor this morning to discuss.
I just had a shot last week in my knee my cycle is really heavy my period should have be done by now ....
Thank God I found this site with information! I thought I was going crazy!! I've had crazy pain in my foot and tired relieving my pain but nothing worked so I tried a cortizone shot and one week later (witch I had my period one week prior) I started spoting and now I'm really heavy and I'm going on 2 weeks!!
Hello I was just wondering the same thing the reason is becaue I have PCOS and absent periods I never get periods unless I take hormone pills and on October 27th I had a appointment for my back which I've been complaining about for over 3 years and got a shot and today is October 29th and now mysteriously I'm having some spotting which isn't at all normal for me.
wondering how you made out. I am going for an ultrasound today. I too had a steroid injection in thigh for hip pain - 4 years post menopausal. Started bleeding 10 days later.
Yes yes yes it's NORMAL
I am in menopause same thing happened to me several years ago the doctor that gave me the cortisone shot in my lower back said I need to see my Gyno so I saw my doctor he took pap a biopsy ultra sound and nothing showed up -----every time I get a cortisone shot I get a period so a week ago I went and got a cortisone shot this time in my shoulder and today I am bleeding so there you have it
Cortisone shots do bring on bleeding

Does anyone no how long bleeding lasts ? It's been 36 days now ?
I am 66. Had a cortisone shot in my shoulder a week ago and am now having vaginal bleeding. I was very worried until I saw how many have had this. I have not had a period for 15 years.
Am going thus the same thing as all of you ladies, 20 yes in menopause, still taking HRT, have NEVER has an issue with spotting, hag shot Aug 22, spotting started 3 weeks later, lasted 6-7 weeks, had biopsy, everthing is good, spotting started again Nov 30, had for 3 more weeks, increased HRT from .3 to .6 in 2 days it stopped. It is now 4 mths since the shot, never again, doctors will not acknowledge, however gyna, says probably is as cortisone really upsets your hormones. Check Mayo clinic site, typed in the Triamcinolone under side effects you will see "menstrual irregularities. ..... this is a reputable site, so all these doctors need to be educated, or maybe it would be bad for business, I know I would never have taken the shot an will never again, have spinal stenosis, waiting or surgery. Sorry for being so long winded, but I hope this helps some of you, especially I'd the spotting has recurred. Good luck
Just turned 60, post menopausal for two years. Just before traveling to another country for 2 month extended vacation, I got cortisone shot in shoulder and in knee. One week later, in a foreign country I started bleeding vaginally, so worried I had uterine cancer. What to do, cut trip short and go home for tests? Luckily found this site and feel confident now That I can continue trip without undue worry. Thank you to all who posted.
The same happened to mepiano
HOW TO STOP BLEEDING NATURALLY
I'm having excessive bleeding just from taking cortisone pills orally. I have suffered from this periodically over three decades due to the fact that I need to take cortisone to control my asthma. I have tried natural remedies for asthma with mixed success. Eventually, I always have to return to cortisone.
Anyway, initially I bled for 3 weeks just from the cortisone in flixotide, which is an inhaler. They say it doesn't absorb into your bloodstream, but it did for me over time. I bled right through my bridesmaid's dress on my sister's wedding. This was from a built up of cortisone in my body from an inhaler. When I take oral cortisone, I start bleeding heavily in the next cycle.
So, what has always worked for me, and I pray it works for you too: RASPBERRY LEAF. It is a great astringent. Simply boil up the leaves as a tea (they are bitter), and drink. I find if I drink too much, I get severe cramping as the blood flow dries up immediately. So I recommend just one cup, and see what happens. Then maybe one cup again the next morning and one midday. So simple and cheap. God Bless.

Just went to dr. cause I was bleeding. Had 2 cortisone shots in shoulder. Scared me. 61 yrs. old. 2morrow go for ultra sound then pap, then Dr. wants to do biopsy. Don't want it if other test come out ok. Bled for over a week, hope I'm done, now convinced it was the shots to. Will not get anymore. Don't no why Dr. doesn't tell you side effects. Thanks for info
A week not so bad....two months for me plus, insomnia, craps, muscle spasms and tingling. Never again!
This happened to me too! A week after the shot I started bleeding. I'm not due for another two weeks. I've been bleeding two days now. I wasn't told this could be side effect!
