Suggest Treatment For Low Ferritin Levels After Taking Cortisone Shots

I have had multiple cortisone shots in the same area, about four in a year time. Does this affect your bone marrow by any chance since I have to have several blood infusions because of my blood work showing very low numbers in my ferritin levels. Seems to be coincidental as I never had this problem before.
