Is it ok to have a cortisone injection and weed vaping?

I had a cortisone injection in my ankle for my posterior impingement. I'm in lockdown and bored at home doing minimal exercise and wondering if I can vape cannabis/weed? Will it affect my healing/cortisone effectiveness?

Medicinal marijuana is appropriate as healing properties for pain neurologic, and a host of others. As long as you were prescribed it or is legal and does not interfere with any other medication‘s you take, I would advise that you speak with your provider about you rosacea of it and making sure you have the appropriate sativa, Indica, or hybrid mix that works best for you and you are circumstance and situation. Thank you for your question I hope everything goes well.
