Hi new member here. Due for bilateral hip replacement in 4 weeks 2/9. Im only 32 but recently my knees swelled up again so i went to rheumatologist and he advised aspiration of both knees and steroid shots in both. Now after reading online it says you shouldn't have surgery within 3 months of a cortsone shot. Im confused does this mesn only in the joint being replaced or will steroids in the knees affect my hip surgery. I been waiting months for this surgery and im mentally ready i would be devasted if i have to wait another few months and not be happy with my rheumatologist suggesting this when he knows i have surgery in 4 exactly 4 weeks to the day which was friday 5/8. Please any advice would be great im really scared now that im going to get a infection as my immune system is compromised. Has anyone had the same experience i have literally been stressing the last 2 days constantly on my phone searching and its driving me madd!! I just want to put my mind at rest thank you
