- Dr. James Dowd, orthopedic surgeon at Jordan-Young Institute, focuses on caring for patients living with knee and hip arthritis. Dr. Dowd has seen excellent outcomes with cortisone injections for the knee and hip. They can reduce pain, reduce inflammation, and improve quality of life. They can also be used as a diagnostic tool. Check out this video to learn why Dr. Dowd recommends steroid injections! Know more about Jordan-Young Institute at www.jordan-younginstitute.com/
Wow, awesome video, very helpful. Much more explained than drs I've been to. I'm just wondering if patients should go to an arthritis institute or an orthopedic. Super job and thanks for hitting all the bases.
I was given Prednisone and it caused Avascular Necrosis which caused me to have Bilateral hip replacements a long with many issues i am still dealing with at 76 years old.
I just had an injection inmy bursa, pi had had pain so bad leading up to the shot that i was unable to walk up an incline or stairs.... .. im so annoyed at the orthopedist that said he doesnt like to give them as people get complacent and dont strengthen their muscles with exercise... one shot and two days later my pants size is down by at least one ,nit was that swollen and now can take 2 stairs at a time.... pain may be back in 3 month s but at least i know it was my bursa.. and that is such a relief in and of itself. I ll admit it was painful but only for a minute then when the analgesia wore off some hours later it was very painful to bear weight for about a day.. then almost as good as new!!!! 😊 i had been limping for months
The best doctors at Jordan Young. Especially my doctor Dr. Guns-Gundusky.
Wish I lived closer to your clinic
Thank you .
Thank you 🤗🙏💖
Dr. Dowd, would you recommend the shot for a hip with low cartilage?
Very helpful.
Very helpful, thank you very much. I have a long way to go.
I have lower back pain especially when standing oh, I received two shots in my back about a month ago. I have had less pain in my back for the last week or so. I suppose the cortisone shot is working. Does that mean my pain is muscular or nerves?
Can you have the knee shots a year after knee replacement, when the knee still hurts?
Thanks for sharing I just had my first shot in the knee and it's not perfect but so much better
Good info.
Glad it was helpful!
@@jordan-younginstitute3399 actually it wasn’t. And ya didn’t even answer some valid questions on here. Just wanted to say, ‘glad it was helpful’? Oh my. Your bedside manner must be atrocious too. Just taking credit for announcing some bs about steroid injections? Yay for you!
Hi, can the cortizone shoot cause a meniscues tear??
I'm 73. 14 years ago, I had a C--Shot for a meniscus tear. I haven't had
One single problem, and I still do Martial Art kicking.
Where you guys located?
Got allergic reaction to the cortisone. Looked it up and found out it's called face flush. Had slow heartbeat also.
Change brand I use to get face flush as well I try depo medrol only I was allergic to Celestone
Hello, Dr is it ok to get a cortisone shot with non alcoholic fatty liver.?
Yes.
Many top orthopedic surgeons are still using cortisone for pain relief. But new studies are showing worse results long term in their use substantially to non use. (Diagnostically sure that’s great). I’m more curious in the increasing evidence and mitigation of pain syndromes by non localised testosterone replacement therapy. Obviously does nothing for the arthritis. But there seems to be a strong link with chronic pain syndromes, increased energy, ability to exercise. I think we might have to rethink regenerative medicine and the benefit of TRT for older populations, who just want quality of life.
Had 5 shots altogether I found them to be worthless no more for me.
Not getting any sound after the intro????
How long Cortisone shot effect remains & is it safe ?
Did you watch the video?
I had a cortisone shot for my hip, only lasted for a month, just had hip replacement, last much longer. Injection only delays the inevitable in my experience .
workers comp will not allow my orthopedic doctor draw a connection between my L4/L5 issue and my hip pain.
Please keep calling and they will help you..
I had Same problem
Absolute truth. These shots work VERY differemtly for different people. I get a shot and it lasts 6 months, i do manual labor for a living. My friend who works an office job gets 2 weeks relief. Go figure. This shot changed my life.
I’m curious about stem cell treatments.
Look up the studies by Dr Philippe Hernigou
Best is PROLOTHERAPY injections... as it is a regenerative repair therapy... long term result is obtained rather than just pain relief
My knee injections lasted 2 years !!
I have a bullet in my hip bone causing pain l was told I need a joint replacement tell about it doctor please
you are dead
Despite short-term pain relief, cortisone promotes FURTHER deterioration of of the joint and HASTENS the need for the joint replacement. Confirmed by reputable research.
why? what causes further deterioration?
Read the research@@CBT5777
Arn't these just temporary for pain you can only get so many done.
I have severe in my right hip! But steroids make me hyper! Can not take nasids ! Dangerous to the heart! May I ask what do you suggest? I am in pain depending on my day! Ty
IDK, why do a shot if eventually you’re going to end up with a replacement anyway. Just do it and get it over with. Can’t you determine a joints condition with MRI?
Until you get your ducks in a row ! Help at home ! Your job! Right now I trying to plan my surgery! My daughter is an rn but very busy and the other lives in Alabama! I sure don’t want to go to rehab if I don’t have to!
Cortisone hasn’t done much of anything for my knees now. The orthopedic physician told me before I got the injections told me I need my knees replaced. I don’t want it done, but my limping, bowlegs, and pain will be over if I do it. Maybe. But no skiing for months. And people have died from blood clots and pulmonary embolisms.
I had hip injections to hold off replacement surgery, helped pain but the second one 3 months later never helped. Had the surgery.
It didn't help me any
It’s an extremely conservative approach to solving hip pain. Steroids and corticosteroids are bandaids. One time is ok. Multiple steroid shots for long term relief isn’t prudent. The pain is relieved and when you go exercise, you exacerbate it. The primary problem hasn’t been dealt with. Steroids mask the symptoms of joint degeneration. I understand taking a cautious approach to hip pain. And ultimate courses of treatment to relieve pain. Even using anti inflammatories or any other pain masking drugs is also not prudent. Especially for someone that is and wants to be physically active. Not to mention the stomach damaging effects of anti inflammatories! Get in there and replace it! How much pain does a person need to be in before surgery becomes the answer?! I’m currently in a shit load of pain. I have an appointment with an ortho coming up. I used to work as a physical therapy aide. This pain is beyond some corrective exercises supervised by a PT. AYKM?!
Since you are in lots of pain, it makes sense to have the surgery. But continued injections can help those who need to put off surgery or who are not in a great deal of distress until they have the time to be recumbent and rehab their joint.

@@Shakespearelover1717"Continued injections," cause more damage to your cartilage which wears away as you age, normally. You don't want to exacerbate it or more surgery would be needed😮
Once maybe twice, but ppl need to stop there. Asking for trouble...
Am grateful to Dr Igudia who have given so much of himself to keep me healthy and safe from genital herpes. You are a perfect combination of responsibility and care. Thank you for taking care of your patients so delicately. Your positivity, helpfulness, and dedication to patients really stand out.
"doctor" probably gets commission for every shot
The only thing the hip steroid injections did for me was drive up my blood sugar - sorry.
What sent your blood sugar up was stress induced carb loading!
Never heard of it! Must be what your eating !
Cortisone is the step before surgery bc it deteriorates the bone and joint material. This is probably why surgeons I suggest these shots
No real I was have lot pain in my right knee specialist private said need knee replacement He give me a cortisone injections pain went away two years now no pain I’m no sure about going for the surgery saw another specialist in public said to delay till I can
He monitor every six month with an X-ray
I’m 69 wish to wait even knee is bone to bone but not pain doing physio weekly
Cut short private surgeon say yes surgery
Public surgeon said no yet to live for now knee not too bad said
@@brandstyle3639how are your knees now
Thats the dumbest thing . Steroids eat or damage the joint. You should learn more about regenitive medicine like PRP.
you push off the sick. money is more than people. try a torture chambre and see how money feels them.
Dr. Dowd, you degenerate your patients and we will treat to regenerate our patients. The fact that you can’t diagnose whether it’s knee, hip, or back without putting a steroid into a joint tells me just how poor a diagnostician you are.
