Question

What problem might an athlete have as a result of chronic use of glucocorticoids to manage pain?

Answer 1

I think Glucocorticoids, among other functions, are responsible for the physiologic inflammatory response process. Chronic use glucocorticoid agents may result in decreased immune response, altered immune function, blood sugar abnormalities, osteopathic related conditions, and may result in some electrolyte disturbances.
