- The steroid injections that orthopedic surgeons use are a corticosteroid, not to be confused with anabolic steroids used by body builders or professional athletes. Corticosteroids act as an anti-inflammatory directly to the site of an injury.

Thank u 4 this info. I don't like shots or meds.
Messed my shoulder up. Went 2 get an x-ray. Said I have ' cold shoulder '. They offered the shot. I said I'd wait 2c if their's any improvement. Their's been little. After watching this video I going 2 make the appointment 2 get the shot.
Thanks 4 this info👍🏾👍🏾
I got one of these for the first time after a bad infection. When I tell you i thought God himself touched and healed me!! Lol it was amazing.
Glad there is something like that out there for dire situations
Best video ever here 💯
I have had these many times and they are so painful and didn’t work so be careful 😢
I had a full body injection yesterday for RA flare up and I feel a lot worse today.😢
Hello Dr., thank you for the video. I had a cortisone shot in my neck around 3 to 4 months ago. It worked great for three months, but for the last month or so, I’ve been experiencing much more hair loss than normal. I want and a half later I’m starting to worry with them on her hair I’m losing overall. Is hair loss, a side effect of the anti-inflammatory shot
I had a steroid shot in my knee yesterday. There was a huge improvement and got me back to work. I have bone on bone arthritis in my knee. Doctor says my best cure is a knee replacement. In the meantime if I could keep my knee functioning at a level of pain that is tolerable. Possibly use a gel injection to buffer this bone on vone situation to prolong the need for knee replacement, I'll use this course of action as long as possible.
I had a steroid shot a couple weeks ago and it didn't provide any relief. It actually feels worse. I was taking ibuprofen -tylenol combo also with no relief. I'm about ready to having to use a wheelchair because it hurts so much to walk. What else is there to take to get pain relief?!
I got a shot a month ago. Worked great. I’m curious how long it is effective? Is there anything I can do to extend the relief as well?
The timeframe varies for individuals-months for some, years for others. This suggests a complexity beyond our current understanding, particularly when considering the alternative injection options. Cortisol ranks lowest at 46.2%, while PRP leads at 80.8%, and dextrose prolo stands at 72.1% in the study I seen!
What are legitimate uses for anabolic steroids, and why can't they be used for injections in specific pain areas rather than corticosteroids? Wouldn't it help to rebuild the affected area? Just curious. Thanks for the info.
anabolic steroids can be used for those with profound hormone deficiencies. Most targeted pain injections are for decreasing inflammation rather than building muscles
How do you feel about that injection for thumb arthritis?
They can work pretty well for awhile, especially if one has a lot of gardening to do
@@orthopedics For how long are they generally effective?
@@ambizytl Sometimes not at all, sometimes years
@@orthopedics Thank you for your time.
