A member asked:
Can steroid injections in your knees cause muscle cramps? any answers appreciated!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible, not common: Among the possible side effects of corticosteroids are muscle cramps. This is not a common reaction. If the cramps are bothersome, it would be wise to consult the Dr. who injected your knees. She would want to know.
