Question
Have you found any correlation between the use of steroids in chemotherapy and osteoarthritis later on? I am 39 and have just been diagnosed with osteoarthritis is my spine.

Please let me know if you have done any studies or found any evidence to support the effects of chemotherpy on the skeletal system.
Answer
To my knowledge there is no known link between steroid use and osteoarthritis.
