Cordison Shot near spinal Cord

[unit]

this has been  as a result of an accident I had which caused my left two fingers to go numb and my question is if I have any kind of allergic reaction to this shot which will be done on my spine, what would happen?

[Alan Rockoff, MD]

Cortisone is used to treat allergies.  It doesn't cause them.  There may be possible hazards to getting such a shot, and you should ask the doctor who's going to do the procedure to spell them out.  Then you can make a reasonable decision.

Best.
