sinusitis treatment with cortisone injections

Question:

Has anyone had any luck with this treatment?  I had an injection ordered by a substitute allergist when mine was on vacation.  The results, although temporary, were amazing.  I felt like a million bucks for a few days.  Then I crashed.  I wonder if I should go to my regular allergist and request an injection once a week?  I wonder what the long term side effects can be?

Response:

A long term (and sometimes not so long term) side effect can be a disease called avascular necrosis. Cortisone can result in the degeneration of your hip joints. It’s painful and there is no cure other than hip replacement surgery. I have it as a result of "good" results using cortisone to treat my allergies.
