    Cortisone shots, cleaning...sway?

    I have inflammation in my foot. Was thinking of getting a cortisone shot. I think I get one every 3 weeks ( for a total of 3). I was wondering if it sways girl or boy.

    Is it safe during pregnancy?

    Also due for a cleaning. That sways pink right? Think they have to take x rays too. I know that part sways boy.

    Thanks!

    Babydust - I'm not sure what cortisone sways. I am doing HT and have an FET coming up in a couple of weeks and I have been having horrible lower back issues with the disc at L4/L5. My left leg/foot is numb/tingling most of the time and I have sciatica as well. I need digesic and anti-inflammatories as well as something to sleep. None of which I can take once I put an embryo back in.

    Just today I got the go ahead to have a CT guided cortisone shot in my spine. I MUST do it prior to the actual ET as the CT scan gives off radiation and they wont do it if you are pregnant.

    Thanks. Had shot yday. The sciatic pain in the hip/glute/leg went almost immediately. Still have a little numbness in the toes. But I'm hopeful and able to lay off the pain meds. Takes about 7-10 days to get full effects by which point I hope to be putting my frostie back!
