Suggest Remedy For High BP And Weight Gain When On Cortisone Injections
My daughter received several cortisone injections within a few month, that was 18 month ago, her weight went up drastically. She also experienced high blood presses, a fatty hump on her neck/back and pre-diabetis. The doctor told her a year ago that eventually things will go back to normal and left it with that. No follow up appointments were made. How long can the cortisone effect your body? Only very recently has she been able to loose some weight.
