D Cort Injection

tell me about corodol injections ## Hello, Delilah! How are you? Did you mean Cortisol? It is listed by the FDA as containing Hydrocortisone, which is a steroid class medication, it is often used to treat allergic reactions, swelling and immune disorders. Typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, administration site reactions, fluid retention and acne. ## Do they work for chronic back and hip pain? I have scoliosis. Also sciatica.

Besides the DX, the box I have says “lidocaina” which I am assuming is Lidocaine, a pain relief drug. My wife wants to use this for hip pain from hip displacia but I just want to make sure that there will be no harmful side effect. Seeing that this also had a corticosteroid in it, Dexamethasone, I am inclined to NOT administer it to her because that is a class of drugs that can have serious side effects if used incorrectly or by the wrong person. ## All medications carry the risk of causing side effects, so yes, there may be dangers, and it should only be administered with a doctors approval. The FDA warns that it may cause administration site reactions, redness, pain, headache, nausea, weight changes, mood changes, and skin reactions. How is she doing? Did you try it? Is sh...

I suffer from cervical stenosis. My neurologist gave me an occipital nerve block with Kenalog, which is cortisone, in Feb./14. This made me worse. I went to see my physiatrist and said this was bad for the neck. He wanted to give me maracain injections, but I refused because I was afraid it would give me more pain. He said to go back in 1 month and he would give me the injections. I am skeptical and afraid. Did anyone ever have maracaine injections for C2-3-4-5-6? ## Hello, Lea! How are you? Marcaine is a local anesthetic, so it should not worsen your pain. The biggest risk with it is cardiotoxicity, so if you have a heart problem, you cannot take it. Common side effects may include numbness, dizziness and vertigo. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Hi Vervom, Thanks for the rep...

I have to have cortisone injection in lumbar spine and my doctor instructs me to stop taking Sintrom for two days beforehand.What are thr risks in doing so? I am 95 years old. ## My sintrom 4mg is finished and I am in Germany. Can I substitute it with Acetylsalicy tablets? ## Hello, Richard! How are you? There is a slight risk of developing blood clots, from stopping it, but the risk isn't very high, if you're only stopping for 2 days. It would be best to follow your doctor's instructions for your own safety. Sintrom is classifies by the FDA as an anticoagulant and its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and easy bruising. Eddy, have you consulted a doctor there? They should be able to prescribe something equivale...

I was given a Kenalog 40 injection for a systemic skin rash (starts below the skin). After a week there was no change. Rash on arms and some on other parts either remained the same or spread slightly. Is it possible to be resistant to it. I'm 6' 1", 198 pounds, and, otherwise, in good health. In past several years I've been prescribed oral course of Prednisone which worked. However, even with a tapered dosage over 10 - 12 days the rash would rebound after about a week of clear skin. ## Kenalog contains Triamcinolone, it is another type of corticosteroid, but not every medication works for everyone that tries it. Its typical side effects may include administration site reactions, headache, rapid heart rate, irritability, and acne. Do you have any details on what it causin...

I was told I was being injected with cordizone and found out it was 4 cc"s of lidicaine and one other ingredient. Is lidacaine normally in a cordizone shot? ## Hello, Stephen! How are you? Cortisone should contain exactly that, it is classified by the FDA as a corticosteroid that is used to alleviate inflammation. Your doctor may use it with Lidocaine, because it is a local anesthetic that can help relieve pain, until the steroid has a chance to work. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including administration site irritation, redness, swelling and headache. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I am the person who thought he was getting cortisone and found that the injection given was 4 c c's Lidocaine and the mystery ingredient I found was Kenalog? My reac...
