Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. No, it has no relation with the shot. Steroid shot if taken for long time can cause yeast infection and white discharge. Short history of steroid shot won't cause any harm to you. It's indeed planned for your better pain management. You should investigate your white discharge with the microscopic examination with Grams staining and wet preparation. There are two type of white discharge one is normal and other is yeast infection. If report is suggestive of the yeast infection than fluconazole tablet 150 mg under doctors guidance can help you.
