Dr.Thank you for your excellent points regarding cortisone injections! I wanted to share that I'm in my late 50's and have been struggling with severe knee tendonitis for close to 15 years. This pain effected me daily from lifting out of my chair to getting out of my car and other squatting/bending positions necessary in life. It was excruciating during those movements. My doctor was unsure if a cortisone injection would help but we tried it anyway. I literally feel like I have new knees! The pain relief was instant and 2 months later, I still marvel at how well it worked. It relieved 100% of my pain. Praise God. I pray it continues to work longterm. Thank you again.

I injured my knee 7 wks ago MRI shows complex medial meniscus tear, bone bruise & a Baker's Cyst which is leaking. An x-ray shows no arthritis. He is not sure about surgery, but, has vaguely mentioned having a Cortisone shot. After watching your video, I decided I will NOT have the injection. I have enough problems. I'm still in pain. All I was doing was putting a sm garden flag in the ground, and almost fell and over corrected myself and WHAM O!

Its only after watching this video I went for a cortisone injection with confidence. I was suffering from pain at the back of my heel for more than 4 months and doctors advised so many things like TENS, ultrasound, change of footwear to MCP chappels along with some pain killer tablets. Nothing worked. I couldn't walk, cycle, the must do regular exercises for my Type 2 diabetes. Though doctors suggested injection at the site of the pain I was so skeptical about the steroid injection, its side effects and how long it will last etc.. In 4:25 in this video you said if the pain goes off after the injection it may not come again. This gave me more confidence to try the injection 'cos chances of getting rid of pain once for all is also possible. Now after 10 days of the injection (Kenacort 40mg) I feel completely painless and many many thanks to you for giving the needed information (like how this is different from anabolic steroids, how long the pain relief last...). Thank you so much 🤗

I had injections done tonmy back the pain came back after 8 months. Yes the injection takes away pain, you are more mobile, therefore you cause more injury to your bones, dics without realizing it. I have issues with brusitis and C5 C6 and I refuse to take the injection, if I am in pain, I am aware and can look after myself better, by stopping what i am doing, rest, physiotherapy or chiropractor. Stretch, heat or cold pack. The doctors want to outsource all of the given options by them in order for them to operate So no matter what injection you take you will end up in a worse of condition and eventually have surgery.

What my doctor is doing for me… instead of one big jab in the general area/s of pain. She mixes cortisone and dental anaesthetic in a ratio of 1:1. Then using a DENTAL needle she injects the mix directly into the areaS of specific pain in the muscle (NOT directly into the joint but into the tendons etc) around the joint. Ie. NOT all into one place so that there is not that horrible extra pressure of the volume of injected fluid into an already inflamed area. And by splitting up the amount into different injections you get a wider coverage of the sore muscles, tendons etc around a joint without nearly the pain - yet it seems to work even better (ESPECIALLY when you have more than one joint problem as I do). We use a max total of 3mg of cortisone at a time, although it will be used in anywhere from 9 to 15 injection points. (With a dental injection needle this is more bearable.)

I stumbled upon your video very well explained i have plantar fasciitis. With the side effects i am on the fence rather it would help my feet . My chiropractor told me it doesn't work very well with plantar fasciitis with the side effects not sure . I heard that night splints work well if you have any comments or suggestions to share please do so .

You need to get the inner sole for your shoes from the foot Dr. I bought a pair and after a week my foot pain was gone . I suffered for over to years with foot pain.

I'm scheduled for a hip injection on March 27th,2024. I take Metformin & Ozempic to control my blood sugar. Last A1C 6.4 so I'm worried about my blood sugar going back up after injection.

Had my dr schedule this for both hips. Im not going through with it at this stage, because i had something similar 6xinjections at once into my lumbar under ct scanner, and i went into convolution, and silent tears just pooring out, until i nearly passed out from the hurt. It was that strong. They had to stop and i only got 2 of 6 injections. So my intuition tells me in this body particularly, im in for it, if i have cortisone injections in both hips.

Hi Dr. Andrea Furlan! Thank you for sharing this information. I have a question regarding the weight gain. I received a shot for an injury to my arm and the shot did help the pain tremendously but now I have a moon face. My face is very puffy and swollen and way larger than its normal size. Do you know if that will ever go away? Is there anything I can do about it? Have you seen this happen before? Thank you so much and I hope to hear back.

This puffy face you described happened to my cousin, but it settled down. I have no idea if he took anything for it. Good luck

I just got epidural injections in my spine for herniated disk. Spinal stenosis and severe spinal arthritis. It did help about 25 to 30 percent. It was a noticable improvement for sure,. But I noticed as a side effect. Anxiety and mid level panic attacks,. Which is a known side effect of Cortisone or similar steroids,. I had some. Magnesium oxide vitamins 250 mg. I broke it in half. Took 125 mg. Before lunch and the other 125 mg half pill. In the late afternoon. It definitely improved the anxiety and panic extremely well. Was really surprised. It had almost the same anti anxiety calming effect of a Xanax but was still able to function. Unlike the Benzo,. Which would've done the job I'm sure but would've had me disfunctional for hours.

A few things. A shot in the hand joint was very painfull. The shot in my knee was not like that. Just a stick and it was over. Second neither of these lasted very long. A few weeks at best. So 3 shots a year would last me 6 weeks out of 52. Not great. Third after deciding on knee surgery I had to wait 3 months because I had a shot. They would not do it till after the three months was up. PS I had bad authritus, 2 bone spers, torn meniscus and no cartilage left.
