Musculoskeletal injections are procedures where medications are injected into a joint space or surrounding tissue to relieve pain and inflammation, and to improve joint function. These injections are commonly used to manage various joint-related conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, bursitis, tendonitis, and certain types of injuries.
Steroid injections are commonly used for the treatment of joint and soft tissue disorders. Steroids have been shown to be helpful for easing pain and reducing inflammation. They may also protect the cartilage within joints.
Steroid injections are often used in conjunction with local anaesthetic. There are several different formulations of both steroid and anaesthetic which may be used.
Like all medication, an individual’s response to a steroid injection cannot be predicted. Most patients experience an improvement in their symptoms lasting a few weeks. For some the beneficial effect will persist for several months. Some patients unfortunately gain little or no benefit.
Please have a look at the information sheet below. This is intended to supplement the advice you will be given by your clinician with regards to the role of steroid injections in your particular circumstances.
Please have a look at the information leaflet* provided on this page. This is intended to supplement the advice you will be given by your clinician with regards to the role of steroid injections in your particular circumstances.
