A 33 yr old woman who have been taking cortison for back pain.she weighs 78 kg and on diet but not able to lose 1 kg.any ideas of causes and solutions?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's from cortisone: If she is taking the cortisone for a long period then it can cause weight gain, so even if she is doing a diet, she will have difficulty losing weight. If the cortisone is just for a short course, then less likely to be the cause.
