steroid injections
Cortisone into joints
Steroid injections deliver corticosteroids directly into joints, muscles, or other tissues to reduce inflammation and pain.
Doctors commonly prescribe them for arthritis, tendinitis, and bursitis: The cortisone shot helped my knee for about three months.
Athletes sometimes receive them to manage injuries, though repeated injections can weaken tissue over time.
Distinct from anabolic steroid use for muscle building.
