Are Two Cortizone Injections Safe To Take After Two Heart Attacks?
Is it safe to take more than one cortizone shot if I have had two heart attacks in the past? Ii am having bad arm pain and was told that a second cortizone shot would help. I had one in the arm (did not help) and now the second one will be in the neck. I am 71, 5'-4", 175 lbs.

once needed it is OK , but you have to follow your blood pressure & blood sugar if you have Diabetes . You should seek medical advice once you have any chest pain . Thanks

No worries , but you have to check your blood pressure regularily and to take proton pump inhibitor e.g. ( omeprazole ) if you feel burning in stomach .
