Can I Have a Cortisone Injection with Testosterone Ethanate?

Patient's Query

Hi, I'm taking 1.5ml of Testosterone Ethanate 300mg/ml once per week but I'm due to get a cortisone injection in my hand for trigger finger in 2 weeks time. Will this be ok to have whilst I'm taking this?

Orthopedic

Answered by Dr. Pramod Bhor

Testosterone Ethanate (T.E.) is a hormone, while cortisone is a medication used to reduce inflammation. Getting a cortisone injection for the trigger finger shouldn't be an issue while on T.E., as they work differently in the body. However, always inform your orthopedist about all medications you're taking. Trigger finger occurs due to tendon inflammation, causing fingers to get stuck in a bent position. A corticosteroid injection can reduce the inflammation and relieve symptoms.

I have knee issues and wanted to know when I want to go to bed if wearing diapers is a good idea or not

Male | 31

At night, it can be difficult to get to the bathroom due to knee pain, making it hard to get up, and accidents might happen. However, this is not a solution for the knee condition itself, but it can help manage the issue until the knee improves. Always consult your doctor to find the best treatment option for your knee problems.

I have broken a bone in my hand which was hit a month ago, but even after a month, the bone is not joint. There is also a plaster bandage on the hand.

Male | 27

It may take longer for the bone to heal if it has not done so after four weeks. Factors such as blood supply or movement at the site of the fracture can cause this. While you should keep the plaster cast on and avoid using the hand too much, it would also be best to visit an orthopedist again so that they can offer further advice on how to care for and ensure proper healing of the bone.

The nature and intensity of symptoms are highly variable in the case of different factors including age, life-style or overall health. It is also advisable to watch for any changes and consult a spine specialist.

Spinal cord complete injury

Male | 24

Complete spinal cord injuries often result in permanent disability, and the exact level and severity depend on the location of the spinal cord injury.
Rehabilitation therapy, assistive devices, and adaptive strategies are often used to help those with complete spinal cord injuries to regain as much independence and functionality as possible. Recovery from a complete spinal cord injury can be limited, but there have been improved outcomes for some.

I am 20 year old man, suffering with lower back pain beside either sides of spine. I've been lifting weights for quite a while now, recently whilst I was performing my deadlift (I hit it heavy past my capability)with a very bad posture and I heard a "chik" sound from my back the sound was negotiably light, but the actual pain started from there, as I'm a computer science student I'll have to sit on PC for hours...this problem has now limited my mobility and when I bend at certain angles it hurts like it wont allow me to bend and it even happens when i sit on same position for hours.... I've done several stretches and applied move creams for 2 3 days consecutively yet no difference... What should I do this problem is very annoying..

Male | 20

The incident that caused the sound you heard could be a muscle contraction or ligament stress. This phenomenon is a very frequent case when the back gets overloaded, and for that reason, the kinks distribute the pain to your left and right sides. Trying to alleviate the problem, in this case, applying ice packs and performing gentle stretches can be the best ones. However, if the pain persists, consult an orthopedist for further evaluation.

From Last one month onwards pain at forearm

Female | 32

For a month, your forearm hurt. This is likely from doing too many motions. Using muscles too much, like repeating movements. Or maybe straining your arm. It's possible you had an injury or inflammation. Rest your arm. Put ice on it. Take pain medication. But if it doesn't stop hurting, see an orthopedist. They can find out why and give treatment to make it better.

i can't move my wrist and arm i think its broken

Female | 15

Falling can cause your arm to break. Bones may crack from an impact, accident, or heavy blow, leading to pain and swelling. Moving the arm becomes challenging. At the hospital, doctors will examine X-rays to identify the fracture. Treatment varies: some breaks can be stabilized with a cast, while more severe breaks may require surgery. Seeking medical care from an orthopedist is crucial to ensure the bone heals properly.

Lower back pain mainly in spine near the flank area. Pain not present all time. Pain occurred after waking up from bed at any time.

Male | 24

Sore muscles can be the root of this problem due to, for example, a bad sleeping posture. It might also be the spine itself that is giving you problems. Help your body to recuperate from the injury by avoiding movements that make it worse, using a heating pad or ice pack, and trying gentle stretches for the back. If the pain persists or you think you are feeling worse, it is a good idea to consult an orthopedist.

Female | Awantika

Back pain can be a lot of reasons such as muscle strain or even a slipped disc. In some cases, painkillers may not be enough to get you on the right track. It is the first step in getting the proper treatment, so I recommend getting the help of an orthopedist who can guide you with exercises or physical therapy to make your back muscles stronger and soothe the pain.

I feel pain chest pain while breathing out when move head downward

Male | 21

When breathing out or moving your head down, you experience chest discomfort. This issue stems from muscle strain between ribs or in the chest wall area. Occasionally, rib joint inflammation can cause this sensation. To alleviate symptoms, rest is recommended, along with warm compresses on the affected area and over-the-counter pain relievers. However, if the condition persists, consulting an orthopedist may be advisable.

Your child could have congenital scoliosis - a curved spine. This happens due to abnormal growth before birth. Symptoms are uneven shoulders, or hips. In some cases, a brace helps. But surgery may be needed if the curve is severe. Make sure to see a pediatric orthopedic specialist. They'll discuss the best treatment options for your child's spine.

I am 21 years old and I've got severe neck from past a year when I move my neck side way's I feel cracking sound from it and pains now extended to back

Male | 21

You may have some problems with your neck, such as strained muscles. The cracking noise could be coming from your joints. If you sit with your head bent down for a long time or do not move around much this can happen. It’s important to gently stretch and move your neck. You may want to do some exercises that will make the muscles in your neck stronger too. If the pain doesn’t stop, it would be best for you to see an orthopedist who can give more advice on what's going wrong.
