wanted to get back to the forum about my spotting episode about a week after having shots in my knees, with the addition of cortisone for the first time. It is not uncommon to have bleeding after a cortisone injection...as some of you concurred. After an ultra-sound, med check and biopsy, everything is good....seems it was in fact the cortisone added to my regular knee injections. Thank you for all your encouragement and support!

      Thank you too! Weird I guess to be bringing up "female issues" in the middle of the PMR forum...but I guess I will not add a new medication or injection without more careful consideration...this PMR and prednisone are awful??
