Taking cortisone for about 3 month for joint problem, about 4 months have been passed after discontinuation of cortisone and still i feel edema in may face and legs , normal liver,kidney lab ,how much does it take to resolve cortisone side effects?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Such side-effects usually occur on high dose treatment, Cortisone treatment is usually ended slowly with tapering the dose. You should see an arthritis or endocrinologist at an academic center. Good luck
