I've had two cortisone injections in my shoulder in the last five months due to a damaged bursa and I've gone from 11 stone 7 to 13 stone 2! I look really fat and can't fit into any of my clothes. How long does the weight gain last for and is there anything I can do other than diet, exercise etc to reduce the weight? Any advice would be much appreciated. I was never informed of the side effects of taking cortisone!
Doctors al say you don't put in weight but from my experiences you blot and become swollen and look fatter then your normal size
I had my injection in my right arm also due to the damaged bursa and the doctors never explain what you should eat and shouldn't
I gained heaps of weight while I was a slim lady and now I'm over weight
Do not eat bread,cereal, rice, potato and pasta I will blot you big time
I had a steroid shot about a week ago and I notice my stomach starting bloating really badly and I've gained 4lbs within the last week. It just dawned on my that the steroid shot is why. I had these a few years ago for tennis elbow and gained 20lbs. I will get another steroid shot for anything!
Me too 1 in my foot & 1 in my shoulder, gaining like crazy, what do i do?
How can I immediately prevent weight gain if I got a cortisone shot yesterday?
Is one cortisone shot going to make me gain weight?
Happened to my very slim daughter in law, too.
I have had steroid shots several times over the course of my life (now 60.) I have only had a small bump in weight from the this last one of January this year, 2022. I have not really had any real trouble with weight gain when using steroid therapy injections. Mind you, I have never had more than three sets in a year. When you get them in your neck, they do a series of 3 injections over a several week period. I suggest being mindful of the increased appetite and up your activity levels accordingly. They have been a phenomenal help for me in pain reduction and quality of life improvement.
That’s a lot of weight to gain in the nose. My guess is your nose must be five times larger now than before
