I am getting Botox shots in my neck area and cortisone in my shoulder is it safe?

botox and other neuromodulators like dysport and xeomin do great for muscle spasms and are very safe.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question!Botox in the neck area should not interfere with cortisone in your shoulder.  Although not specified, it sounds like the cortisone is an intra-articular (into the joint) injection. Botox is injected into the muscle so not as deep, and also not in the same area are your cortisone injection.Hope this helps!

Thank you for your question. There is no contradiction between getting Botox in your neck and cortisone in the shoulder.  However, it is always safe to ask about medicines being injected into your body to make sure that there is no contradictions or possible problems having them done at the same time. Best of Luck!
