A member asked:
I have experienced weight gain and menstrual irregularity after two triamcinolone injections, one in my facet joints and another in my sacroiliac joint. how soon will my weight go back to pre-injection and will my menstrual cycle regulate again?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See primary care Dr: It would be unlikely for 2 steroid injections into joints to cause weight gain & menstrual changes. I would recommend seeing Dr to evaluate for thyroid or other problems.
