steroid shot
Anti-inflammatory needle dose
A steroid shot is an injection of corticosteroids, typically administered to reduce inflammation in joints, muscles, or other tissues.
Doctors give steroid shots for conditions like arthritis, bursitis, and allergic reactions: The cortisone shot helped my knee pain for months.
