A member asked:

The doctor said he will give my father a cortisone injection in his shoulder coz it always hurts does this have side effects my father is 57 and fat?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Cortisone used for local injections carries little risk. If your dad is diabetic, it can transiently raise his blood sugar.
