    cortisone shots

    hy !first of all I apologize for my english,I live in Italy, I do bodybuilding , I just started a treatment based on cortisone injections because I have inflamed sinus. I have to make a 40ml injection every ten days. cortisone can be catabolic? during treatment can I train? or would it be better to rest?

    cortisone is not something to play with. it cures nothing, and weakens the bones, along with other things. There are other solutions to "inflamed sinus" besides cortisone. what else have you tried?

    just curious. how do you inject 40ml? where? with what syringe?

    and when you say sinus, do you mean nasal sinus?

    I'm guessing it's 40mg.

    I recommend staying away from cortisone. The side effects are greater than the benefits. Frequent administration of cortisone can cause thinning of the skin, thinning of the bones, elevation of BP, cataract formation, easy bruising, weight gain, and acne.

    I have to do three injections of cortisone 40 mg every 10 days, because I have a strong allergy that made ​​me lose the sense of taste and smell. I have to do the injections in the ass. I have tried many remedies and cortisone I left as a last resort, do not even feel the smell of gasoline or accetone. I did not take the decision but I was my doctor. I should do only three injections. or this or I have to do the surgery

    hydrocortisone 40mg isn't a very high dose. there is no need to alter your training during the treatment.
