Is It Safe To Have Cortisone Shot During Pregnancy?

My daughter is 8 weeks pregnant with their second pregnancy she miscarried the first time at 5 weeks my question is she is having severe back pain and groin pain, is it safe to get maybe a cortisone shot for her back pain, or will it harm the baby? They are trying to be extremely careful this time as they have already lost baby #1 or what can she do to help with the pain?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

Visit an orthopedist to check the hand and decide which can be the right treatment and check the X-ray you previously did. Physical therapy may be recommended only by orthopedist in this case.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka, General & Family Physician
