Has anyone noticed they never interrupted one another when talking. Intelligent people Masha-Allah

Years ago I got a steroid injection for 10 sailboat and my doctor got hit right in the spot I closed my eyes and I was praying to Jesus for it to go away and not to feel no pain I didn't feel no pain whatsoever from that day I have never had tennis elbow whatever it's called and it's been over about 20 years I had never got it back

I fell in a hole. I have locking and a pulling sensation. Doc said I had arthritis in my knee but I am a walker and could walk miles. She said in older patients..I am 67 years young ..that arthroscopic surgery is no longer recommended even if it is a torn meniscus, so praying the locking stops with my cortisone shot. This was so good, so professional..

Great video guys! Thank you!

Thanks for being a honest one. Otherwise most just meed surgery that works

Great video this helps me in my decision

Thank you Doctors for the information..

Well done ! It was very informative , and help when I talk to my surgeon ! Thanks very much !

Very helpful information, thank you both.

I just went to a orthopedic today and got a injection. The doctor said he'd fix the tennis elbow pain with one injection. So what I got from this is that the injection dulled the nerve fibers so less pain overall however with dulled pain I could potentially make the tendon worse by overworking during the healing process. I've been pretty worried about this because it's my career, I'm not a very good arborist if I can't pick up a chainsaw.

Thank you very much for the helpful info

Many thanks doctors!

My arthritis flared up so bad that I had to get a shot just to stop the pain ! Pain level was on 9 and subsided two hours after my shot.

Thanks for the information guys. I get shots in both of my knees every three to five most..It really helps with pain..I hear my knees are bone on bone..but! I am not interested in the high risk of knee replacements yet.

This is a great video.

U said that right, most health problems don’t have a cure just a bandaid. Especially cancer. So sad.

Thank you very much Dr. did cortisone injections make me fat for how long after i take the injection?

I have torn hip labrums, herniated discs and stenosis. Ever since I moved to PA from NYC,the doctors insist that all I have is arthritis and Cortizone shots will help me regain function.

Unfortunately no comments regarding hip arthritis, specifically when the case is severe like bone and bone hip arthritis, will the injection help while waiting for cirugía ? I would appreciate an answer or comment thanks !

Just had mine in my shoulder you don’t feel it. Not sure how long it takes to work

Got both knees injected with cortisone about a month ago. It's miraculous because before that, I could not walk--for 4 months! Now, I'm starting a carnivore diet which should get rid of the osteoarthritis altogether but the cortisone bought me some time. It's the best!

I found out that hard way that one of the potential side effects doctors don't tell you about or even admit is leg cramping. I had a injection in my knee a month ago and ever since I've gotten multiple leg cramps at night - up to double digits. I've had leg cramps before, but never more than one per night and infrequently, usually when I'm dehydrated. I called the doctor's office to report the problem and to see what I could do about it and they wouldn't even talk to me. All they did was have the nurse lie and tell the receptionist that the cramps weren't related to the cortisone shot. The cramps started right after the shot and no other variable has changed. I asked the receptionist to have the nurse call me back and she never did.

I have rupture disc and bulging disc 7 months going. Still have pain when I do too much . I declined to take injection cause I know about 7 people say it did not help them and they all have side effect like bleeding too much irregular period some end up removing their ovary. Some got injure more in different places . Some have heart attack and anxiety. On my seventh month I try taking joint supplements three different kinds all at once with high doses it had help so much.

Do you have any videos on severe lumbar spinal stenosis.

What do u think for tarsal tunnel sydrom? Is that ok?

This was posted 2 years ago.. its 3-14-23. I've had a cortisone shot 2 weeks ago and it has helped my knee, but..I have developed high blood sugar from it. Every morning I wake up and I'm miserable. I will never get another one. I was fine till I got the shot.

I hope you see this I have tendon and ligament damage in my ankle my specialist wants me to go for a cordizone shot in my ankle... Should I he says I also have austio arthritis in the ankle... I'm worried now

Happy new year 🎆🎊🎈 we need more videos 😊

you never even addressed the back such as the lower back

Wat about for bulged disk c5 c6 cord compression.

Does anyone speak about spine 🤔 and the steriod crossing the brain barrier for people w general panic and anxiety disorder?

Is it good for frozen shoulder?

How long does it take for an injection to work? I had mine a week ago and hasn’t helped. I have bicep pain and had a subacromial injection and hasn’t helped my bicep pain

What choices of steroid are available for adhesive capsulitis ? My Dr has only given me betamethasone with bupivacaine and it’s not very effective. Any other steroid used for this?

I got a shot in my feet for my plantar fasciitis a couple months ago and it was quite painful and was not fun and triggered my insomnia for about a week/week and a half :( thankfully though my pain has improved tremendously

I need help desperately in my plantar fasciitis, what can I do?

How about plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis? Would that hrlp ?

I dont want a band aid, and this is exactly what injections are.

My injection only lasted three months and now the pain is worse. 😣

I have RA/OA and I have always refused steroid injections and I always will. Docs never warn of the risks and are way to liberal with using them for everything. There's no informed consent because we're not informed. I also have epilepsy and it can affect that too.

I had cortisone for knee inflammation and it helped a lot. But then I had again for my hand pain then I have shoulder pain and I might have to have. 3 years and 2 injections. It is like once you have it you want it because you know the pain will go away. My knee never really heal only with high strength vitamin c daily.

how many is too many shots. ive had a RC, AC a soon a glenohumerial shot.

I just had a cortisone injection in my shoulder and within a ten hours the shoulder really hurt. Ouch, still.

What Jhonny sins is doing here!!😂

What about injections for trigger finger? If you can is it best to wait it out without it or are the risks minimal? risks being tendon or muscle damage. I am a musician am afraid to loose any strength or dexterity in the fingers.

Are inversión tables helpful for back pain

Thank you.. ✨ how about one 1st shot in my right “ankle”?

I had nerve root block and steroids in my cervical c4 c5 c6 c7, I have diabetes my levels have been to low now eleven days after I have an upper respiratory infection like I have ever had, I'm coughing till I'm sick, could the steroid of been a cause of catching it

Thank God for Opiate Medications ! Please Dr's don't let the law makers take your medical freedoms away from you any more then they already have.

I’m a Retired Surgical Technologist, and 14 years ago when I was Scrubbing Sports Med at UCONN, I learned the down side of these injections during a procedure the Surgeons don’t inform you about. The Surgeon I was scrubbing with explained the recommendation is a limit of 3 within a calendar year at max. Anything more will accelerate the degeneration of the joint . On the flip side, even if less but continued over a period of time its the same result. The solution accumulates in the joint and builds up like a past of Ajax and wears away the meniscus and articular cartilage, initiating or exasperating DJD leading to eventually leading to Total Joint Replacement or Spinal Fusion. They help temporarily with 1-2 for inflammation but do NOT receive and more than that PERIOD.

I got my shot in my right shoulder today and I'm feeling better ,, however I'm feeling extremely hot! Hot flushes a day it's winter in South Africa. Anyone else?

I’ve beeen having problems with my left knee swollen build up fluid Had a scope done on my knee and it still didn’t work I had two gel injections. Still nothing Now they want to do Cortizone I have done almost everything you can think of physical therapy nothing seems to work. I’m frustrated depressed you name it I’ve been through it with my knee I banged it on the coffee table. hasn’t been the same after that it’s bad.

Any advice on how to heal the brain after this?

Doctor prescribed to my cat. He had a problems with throwing up....which he has all his life.

They said the America Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons recommends against cortisone for knee pain 5:00 Wish I'd known that.

Judicious use of corticosteroids is good to improve quality of life. Not true that corticosteroid is bad, but with utmost caution

How about the si joint? How many times can this be done?

What about for dequarvain tendinitis?

How long do corticosteroids stay in the system? I got an 80 mg depo-medrol IM in the shoulder. I was in so much pain I just wanted to be out of pain. Didn't ask how long does the medication stay in your system. How long do the effects last?

Hello Dr. Luks, I got a steroid shot in my knee 5 days ago, and my knee has been swollen and in pain since then. Now that I watched your video, I'm not sure why my doctor gave me one in the first place. I'm young, active, and my pain was just 2/10, but I wanted to ask if it is normal for swelling to last this long after the shot. I called the doctor's office, but they're closed because of Thanksgiving. Id really appreciate some guidance. Thanks!

I got a cortisone shot in my ganglion cyst on my wrist..After around 1.5 months the skin around the site started getting pale.Is it possible yo have hypopigmentation due to that?

Can a shot cause anxiety and insomnia? Thx

In summer 2020 i was at a club in greece and something bit me while i was removing a chair for me to sit down for a bit...I dont know what insect it was but my hand was swolen and became huge...then i went to the hospital and they did a cortisone injection on my bum...After 2 days my back was full of pimples!!!I guess it was from cortisone...

Biggest problem is numbness and it slows your breathing

Is ok to be injectable in chest muscle pains?

I lost my mother . Dealing with Guilt? My mother had severe back and leg pain that she was unable to bear and her daily life was badly affected because she was unable to move . Pain was so severe that she has to take frequently pain killer meds with heavy dosage . After checking with many neurosurgeons , we decided to proceed with one. Most of the Neurosurgeons were advising Spinal Surgery because as per MRI report she has Degenerated disc disease and her nerves at L4 S5 was compressed . Apart from local neurosurgeons , we had also taken advise from international neurosurgeons to go for better decision. So finally after collecting all suggestions we proceeded with the procedure. We were asked by neurosurgeon to get test of HbA1c for my mother diabetes. Test was performed and result was 10.1 He informed that my mother diabetes was poorly controlled and its quite risky to proceed for her surgery immediately . Since she had severe pain we can give her " Transforaminal steroid shot to control the pain . We were advised to consult endocrinologist to control her diabetes . This was the similar suggestion given to us by 5 international neurosurgeons prior to spinal surgery. My mother pain was so severe that we need to take immediate action because sometime she was getting unconscious and her skin color was turning blue due to chronic pain. We decided to proceed with steroid injection as advised by our neurosurgeon . Injection was given and my mother got relief from her chronic pain. I suggested to keep my mother in hospital for observation after the steroid injection but our surgeon refused this suggestion by saying that it is quite routine procedure and nothing to worry for. Next morning , my mother started to complain about headaches and similar back pain again. We informed our neurosurgeon and he advised some pain killers . By evening , her condition got worse. Her BP was 200 , High Fever and she was complaining about severe headache . At this time she totally forgot her back and leg pain and her focus was about her headaches . I informed this situation to our neurosurgeon and he asked us to come in emergency . At this time my mother started to experience hallucination and altered mental condition. We took her to hospital with these symptoms where doctors performed multiple test ( CT SCAN , MRI with Contrast) and they came to know that she has developed "Bacterial Meningitis with hydrocephalus " also she got abscess pockets at her epidural layers of spinal cord. it was totally shocking for us and upon asking the neurosurgeon , he simply replied that she has Spinal Abscess prior to injection and it was misdiagnosed as Sciatica pain. Steroid injection has trigged the infection . We were advised to proceed with immediate surgery to drain the abscess . Surgery went well and my mom pain started to reduce. Now next thing was Hydrocephalus which was causing pressure on heart . He also advised to pass the shunt to remove excessive water from brain. We proceeded with this advise as well . Her surgery went well . After spending 9 days in ICU now my mom is feeling better and conscious but she developed short term memory issue. After two weeks of follow up visit , neurosurgeon performed some test again and noticed that Abscess was coming again. He suggested us to proceed for second surgery immediately and we followed his advised. She was getting better but her hydrocephalus was not getting cured. She was on medicine for that. Almost near to her recovery from second surgery , she contracted by Covid 19 and her symptoms were severe due to immune deficiency . I lost my mother on 12th oct 2020 due to cardiac arrest at Covid 19 ICU. I did my best to save her life but all my efforts were in vain. Now ever day almost i am getting these episodes of panic attacks and I am blaming myself that i could have taken better steps to save her life. I really did my best but my inner me is not accepting it and I feel that I am left with no purpose to continue my life . i am breathing but i am lifeless now. I am getting suicidal thoughts as well . I am blaming myself a lot.

for herniated disc

I am 40yo. I had this done by the doctor 3 times. right elbow 7 years ago, right shoulder 2 years ago, now left elbow (I play tennis). It miraculously and completely cured the problem and pain. No side effects. There are no scientific studies that prove there are side effects. I cannot imagine doing this daily. Then it means it has no effect on you so no point in taking it. The injection is not more painful than any simple shot anywhere in the body. the arm hurts a little a few hours after the shot.

What about severe spinal stenosis with multiple bulging discs. I have had this condition for over 40 years. I usually get even more relief from going to the gym working my abs especially. Because of a really bad fractured toe my orthopedic surgeon told me to not go to the gym due the past history. Anti- inflammatory drugs do only mild to moderate relief of pain. Tylenol works better but due to some of its possible side effects I do not take it regularly. ( I like my liver ). Note. I 76 years old and with exercise I do infinitely better. So I highly recommend exercise. I also keep my weight down.

My question is how long should I wait before I go back to weight training, after taking cortisone injections for my shoulder and elbow, recently took 3 injections. I use only moderate weights, training at home. I guess I should start with light weights and go back gradually to my old routine so I don't risk getting my shoulder injured again (tendinitis). Please comments.

I don't know about you all it's good information but does he seem a little intoxicated to me

I have type 2 diabetes ..about 15 years ago I got severe pain in my left shoulder .. my family doctor gave me a needle ..next morning all pain was gone ..never had pain again . Now last year I got similar pain in right shoulder .. had lot of sessions with physiotherapist but no relief .. I requested my new family doctor to give me shot in the shoulder she point blank refuses ..My previous doctor passed away she was so kind. I am now 71 and endure this pain I want to know how a needle once worked should have side effect .. I had diabetes even on previous occasion also.

Thats because the shots are a money maker and cheaper for insurance companies Whom push it over paying for surgery

Orthopedics needs offer pain management. OA in shoulder nerves can often benefit from cervical epidural within days. Also joint sensory nerve oblations, can give nearly instant pain relief and also months after operations, sensory nerve oblations are a game changer to help with rehabilitation. Pain management and Orthopedics need to work more together, my experience as a Pt.

I just got my shot yesterday, and I just started to feel bad and my face is all RED and terrible headache. Just took 2 benadryl, this is the second time this has happened to me after the cortazone shot ??

This presentation is not entirely accurate... but the risks & warnings should be heard...

Hey I got my cortisone shot 4 days ago. Yesterday I was extreme pain. My fingers were cold. My hand feel weird and weak. I can’t make fist and carry anything. It hurt 😪 I feel it’s not normal!! I’m going to see my doctor today. I’m just worry 😫

Can i take steroids injection once a week for 12 weeks

all meds have their own side effect....

The 12th of Dec. 2019, I am scheduled for my knee injection,i have been getting every 3 months. I am considering stopping my injections. I have lost 38 lbs. of body weight, doing keto , progressed to carnivore diet, since the last injection.My pain is not noticeable now.I will request an xray To see if had any improvements, and from that decide!! I think the cortisone, may have an effect on my weight loss. ??

Audio sucks from the person asking questions sideways in the chair unprofessional.

I had two injections and my osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia pain went out of control and I'm not sure if I'll ever get back in remission. I inject bee venom for pain and it's antiinflammatory effects are amazing and has no side effects! pay attention to natural holistic ways!!!

Hello will a steroid ejection cause anxiety. I have anxiety with taking any medication. I'm worried it will give me anxiety or possibly a panic attack.

No

I have anxiety and prednisone really made me feel crazy ! How long does this last after the injection

Hi Gents, I had two injections, they caused an embolic stroke. I have now dizziness, pain off the scale. I would say to everyone, avoid these injections as they can kill you.

If you are not sending your clients to a Physio for these complaints you might be just milking them and in the long term creating a more significant injury. Particularly at the shoulder; bursa do not spontaneously get inflamed, esp the SA. More likely the supra spinatus tendon is creating friction in excess of the bursa capacity to remit. Positive resisted empty/ full can test will prove RC involvement. Tight pec min also contributes to poor mechanics at this joint.

No, they’re not safe, nor are they FDA approved for safety and efficacy.

Herniated disc, Disc bulge, spinal stenosis. All I hear is it's not bad enough for surgery, but push the shots!! Pain management doc keeps saying I need surgery, but I tell him they say they don't want to do it...He actually said alot of Doctors don't want to operate on t4,t5,t6,t7,t8. Fucking horrible..It's like going to get an oil change and they only wash your car..Do you fucking job surgeons.

talk about injected steroids in the brain! buy some time, while causing damage??? if your going to get operated buying time is no solution. No matter what situation, its totally brainless to consider cortisone for whatever reason. if operating is no option, then what? The solution should NEVER have a greater damage or chance to increase the present condition. It's not worth a gamble under any situation. Cortisone is like having a hammer and everything looks like a nail. find another Md.

I thank God and you doctors that these injections exist. It is much better than a laminectomy in my case. I have a lumbar stenosis due to a car accident and also due to arthritis in the body. We have to be very careful what we eat even before the age of 30 because our body makes us pay big price. Thanks to these injections, I can walk a little bit better. I can’t consider the surgery as there are too many risks. More risks than steroid injections.

Just say it were screwed

Is there any chance i could carry a small amount to give to some people i know who are a right pain in the arse. 😂🤔😉

Often bad side effects. Be aware.

At least he is honest. Ruined my bones. Deteriation from shots
