A member asked:
How dangerous are corticosteroid injections like kenalog (triamcinolone) or prednisone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Low risk: Infrequent corticosteroid injections are quite safe. Infrequent injections will not cause significant growth effects in children or contribute to decreased bone mass or immune function or increase the risk of weight gain or cataracts. A one in a million risk is hip or knee joint damage. The watch word here is infrequent.
