Can Cortisone And ESI Injections Have An Adverse Effect On The Body?
I have a UTI and was just prescribed antibiotics today. I ve taken two so far and it doesn t seem to be helping. Can I take uristat as well to try to relieve he symptoms? Can t sleep because there s so much pain and pressure. I also had a cortisone shot in my SI joint a week ago and two ESI injections in my back on Friday. Want to make sure I m not damaging my body. Pretty sure the UTI is from all the steroids.
