Guest guest Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Faith, What time frame did your doc do these in? I know I have also had three shots. Two in my left shoulder six months apart. One in my right thumb, when I was a teenager because it was so swollen I could barely move it. I guess within a 7 yr period. I know most doctors are leary of giving a lot of cortisone in a short period. It can do a lot of damage, i would not be surprised if helping diabetes along isn't one of the nastly little side effects. Good luck!
