Guest guest Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 I called my Psychiatrist this morning (he manages my medication for bipolar) and I told him the knee situation with the shots and brace. I said that I have "heard" that cortisone "can" cause depression and as you know *laughs* I need no help there! LOL... He then told me that he thought that the shots and brace would be a good idea for my situation, and that the cortisone would not present a problem for "me". He said the I.V. would, but not the shot. So, for those that are concerned. Call your personal doctor and ask, they can advise if cortisone would be a good choice for you or not. I thank Margaret for bringing the subject up, because it could have caused a MAJOR problem with me, as I have Bipolar disorder, with rapid cycling and this could have pushed me right over the edge. Thank you again Margaret. I just love these group discussions, they're so beneficial! in Michigan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
