Question 1

i saw a  weight loss doctor, and she said it was a b12 injection that was administered in my stomach. since then i have experienced spasms.

Accepted Answer

Shot: The B12 is probably not the problem, but the shot itself might have caused some irritation in your abdominal wall muscle.  I would anticipate this to resolve, but if not get checked.

Question 2

doctors, do you think i can die from a cortisone injection?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: You possibly could die from a cortisone injection if you are truly allergic to cortisone and given a sufficient dose, but death related to a single cortisone injection for a healthy person with no known allergy to cortisone would be highly unlikely.

Question 3

why do doctors not use chemo sensitivity testing before administering chemo?

Accepted Answer

Disappointing: There have been several attempts to demonstrate that these types of test can be helpful. Unfortunately, they have not been of great value.
The hope is that the gene profile data might help us learn more about how to treat cancers. Also some of the studies might help us learn who will get side effects.
Lung cancer mutation studies now show us who can benefit from targeted meds rather that chemo.

Question 4

is there a way to get an injection i received from the doctor out of my system?

Accepted Answer

No: Once the medication is given, it's in.  Depending on what you were given, there may be a reversal agent for the drug which can reverse the drugs effect.

Question 5

why do doctors continually administer pain killers instead of treating the problem, knowing the aggressive side affects to pain killers.

Accepted Answer

It depends.: In general optimal pain treatment would include removing the source of the pain and relieving the need for pain meds.  Unfortunately, this is not always possible and pain meds may need to be continually prescribed.  There are however many, many pain treatments now available and chronic pain  which requires chronic pain meds with aggressive side effects may need to be evaluated by a pain specialist
