steriod injections
6 Answers
Does anyone know if there is any possibility that having a steriod injection into a joint can act on other parts of the body. theoretically that shouldnt be possible, but recently my husband has been having some chest problems, wheezing, wheezy cough etc and was given inhalers to use (ventolin). they slightly improved the wheezing but the cough got worse. then he had a steroid injection into his knee and from that day the wheezing disappeared, as did the cough and the effect lasted for about 2 months. the problem has now re-occurred but how weird was that. i am wondering if some of the steroid 'escaped' and improved his lungs in which case maybe a steroid inhaler may be better than the one has been given. getting an appointment at the doctors is a nightmare.
