A member asked:
Will the cortisone steroid injections that i've been getting have a negative effect on my height growth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe,maybe not: Anti inflamatory steroids can have a negative effect on hight if given in therapuetic levels for a significant period.That effect is avoided in many conditions by spreading out treatments and limiting the dost to minimum level required for desired effect.I would discuss your concerns with the treating physician who has more info about your specific case.
