Does Cortisone Injection Cause Weight Gain?
I am a runner and this past year I had two cortisone injections (August and September 2016) in my foot for neuromas and today I got one for sesamoiditis. My doctor said I can t have another one until September 2017. With the 1st two injections I didn t gain weight as I watch what I eat and run. So my question is will this third injection cause me to gain weight even if I eat well and exercise?
