Has anyone experienced significant weight gain after receiveing epidural / cortisone shots. (I got 4 shots for a back injury.) I am certainly working out less and differently since my back injury, but nothing that would justify a 25-pound weight gain. ???

This one interests me! I just received my first cortisone shot in my knee. I will be getting another one in 2 weeks and then 3 weeks out if still needed.0

I just found this, it says that weight gain can be a side effect, but doesn't really get into detail about it.
