I want to acknowledge and thank Dr. Judith Mairs-Levy for her article on the side effects of cortisone. She is so well informed and helpful. I wish I would have seen her article before I got my shots. I still would have gotten them and will continue to get them but at least I would have known what I was dealing with and the side effects I could have so I wouldn’t have been shocked and wonder now what else is wrong with me. My specialist told me there were no side effects.
