Losing Hair After Spinal Injections

I am 55 year old female. I have gone through alot in the past 8 months. I have a bad back and went through 12 injections in two months in my spine. They helped but then i got fat, gained 25 months from the shots. I think they were cortisol, kenolog and lidocaine. Since August no shots but i have noticed in the past 2 months or so alot of hair coming out. When I shower there is enough there the size of a golf ball and through out the day if i comb it out, hair is in the comb. But worst of all when I just run my fingers through my hair i can take alot out. I saw an endocronogist for a diffent reason but he said i can take this medication which is good for the heart and also helps hair loss. i think its called spiranolacton 25 mg but am afraid to do so. Can you tell me or suggest which kind of dr to see dermatologist ect. I also have been under a great deal of stress. Medications i take are effexor 75mg, lipitor 10 mg, fosomax 70 mg i x weekly, voltarin for back pain

if you can contact me and giver me some advice i would appreciate it

thanks

Many medications such as cortisol and kenolog can contribute to hair loss in some patients. Stress is also a contributing factor to hair loss and it sounds like you are very stressed. Spironolactones are used by some people to treat hair loss. I would advise you to see a good family type doctor to manage all of your problems and make sure that you do not have any of the causes of female hair loss. Your problem sounds a bit complex, certainly too complex for managing you via the internet.
