Steroids, used in the injections (PM procedures) can cause adrenal suppression, and can also throw off a female's monthly cycle.

Punctures are a risk minimized by use of Fluoroscopy.

If these things haven't been covered prior to a PM procedure, it is something you can point out to your doc and mention that something should be included for patients - either in the patient info. or during discussion pre-op.
