A member asked:

Are steroid joint injections contraindicated for itp treatment or in itp patients? thanks

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If controlled: Ask your doctor for individual recommendations Theoretically if platelet count is good ( bleeding risk is controlled) then the steroid would not be contraindicated but if you are already receiving steroids ITP treatment then I'm not sure how much more an injection has to offer.
