Hi and thanks for the query,

I understand this can be worrisome and a bit frustrating. However, It could be important to note that the drug being injected is a steroid, with side effects as those you describe. Adjustment of the doses and methods or calendar of administration of the drug is very possible, but happens on a case by case basis.

A proper clinical review and follow up by your doctor is imperative in this case. Based on response to treatment, other treatment do exist and I suggest you consult a heumatologist for his opinion. I propose you Concert with your family physician on modifying treatment and discuss seeing a rheumatologist. Thanks and kind regards as I wish you the best of health.
