"Before" taking a cortisone injection, it seems like a really good idea to call your endocrinologist for approval.

While on Prolia I had 5 epidural steroid injections into my spine for spine problems. I was also on Budesonide, a steroid for 9 months. I discussed the bone thinning with my Endo. She said it was good that I was on Prolia to counteract it.

I had cortisone tablets I had b12 injections because I had a car accident where the injection was put in the bone in the arm

Cortisone, would stop the bones rubbing together, they are painful, but do help ,it is placed between the joints

Thanks again for the info.......really great
