Guest guest Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 Hi, My mum was wanting to know if anyone on here knows anything about how or if cortizone injections can affect or harm a person with CMT. She has CMT 1A and needs to make a decision within a couple of days on whether or not to have a cortizone injection for arthritis. The reason she is hesitating is that she has heard that cortizone can cause muscular atrophy. I laughed and said well it's not a problem as you already have that! But as she pointed out to me, if it can cause muscular atrophy, can it make CMT worse? So does anyone have any ideasfor us please? Thanks, Megs from New Zealand.
