Question: I am doing chemo for breast cancer. Can I get a cortisone injection for hip bursitis while still doing chemo
Brief Answer:
Yes, you can!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
There is no contra-indication using cortisone alongside chemotherapy medications. On the other hand. most chemotherapy regimens contain cortisone. It is okay to take this shot for your bursitis.
However, it will be best to do so in consultation and approval with your oncologist.
I hope this helps and guides. I wish you well.
Feel free to follow up with me if need be.
Kind regards
