A member asked:
Ive had 2 methylprednisone acetate 40mg shots in a knee ganglion cyst in the last 5 months. could this systemically cause weight gain as a symptom?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The dose and the fact that blood levels from acetylated steroid injections are low means it is not responsible for weight gain.
