Do Steroid Injections Work?

  • I do over a 1000 steroid injections year in my clinic for osteoarthritis, tendinitis, and bursitis of mainly the shoulder and knee. That said, steroid injections are not for every patient at every time. They have a time and a place. I'll discuss the results I have seen in my clinic as well as the rules I have developed for their use over the years.

    I have had three steroid injections one in each knee and another in first knee injection. The injections did not work for me. There was no lasting pain relief. I had bone on bone in both knees and eventually had knee replacement surgery in both, a year apart. I was 69 when I had my first surgery and 70 for second surgery. Like you said no two knees are alike. My first surgery was a breeze but second surgery was a struggle to stay with therapy and remain positive. For both knees I did water therapy. I am a water baby and I believe this is what healed me, particularly with the second surgery. What a wonderful blessing to be able to walk for more than five minutes. I had my life back!
    Your two videos will provide accurate information to anyone thinking about any of these procedures.

    This is the most balanced explanation for cortisone injections. Thankyou doctor.

    I think it’s more of a band-aid, to be honest. I’ve had one so far, and it did give some relief for hip bursitis. I also have back arthritis and compression in lumbar region. I had surgery about 27 years ago. I’m in pain a lot, but want to avoid another surgery. I’ve been swimming 3 days a week, it does seem to help. Cycling really irritated the hip flexors. Thanks for video.

    I've had two injections in my left knee. No real pain, just a weird sensation of fullness. First shot worked well for 2-3 months, the second not at all. That's when I choose TKR.

    Does it make the problem worse? My 1st injection was 3 months ago and it help greatly but now the pain is back and it feels worse than I remember. Was in my shoulder.

    I have been taking steroid injections on both of my shoulders, Neck and Knees since 2006 and everything this Dr said I can confirm. I ended up getting Total R knee replacement back in 2014. Now both of my shoulders have tears on mjy rotator cuff and it hurt like hell. Still seeking for a good Orthopedic surgeon to explore my options. MTF.

    I'm a month in and the shots are still working great for my hands. I couldn't make a fist with either hand for a few years with a "trigger" left ring finger and it absolutely is like night and day. It didn't "cure" the trigger finger however, it's much better with no pain. I'd recommend cortisone shots for arthritic hands to anybody suffering from it, it works!!

    • @karlint39
      @karlint39 ปีที่แล้ว

      That's great news! I had a couple of trigger fingers and got two injections for them recently. My doctor said that the effect of the shots should last about 2 months. What's your experience? It's been 4 months since your comment, are things back to how they were, or are you still getting relief?

    • @briannelson4122
      @briannelson4122 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@karlint39 My hands are ok, both middle knuckles are back to stiff and sore but not unmanageable. Trigger finger-gone. At the six month mark I may make an appt. for a shot in each hand for the mid-knuckle problem. Worthwhile though. Good luck!

    • @joelhurtmd-austinorthopedi4131
      @joelhurtmd-austinorthopedi4131  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, but not the same efficacy. I’ve had many patients take Medrol Dosepak instead of get the injection. Some people will see a temporary improvement in their knee pain when they do that in addition to other inflammatory conditions in their body. However, my anecdotal experience is, is that, it’s never a strong affect and does not last as long.
