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 .

Can I still drink beer while taking these medications? I'm not being silly here, I'm serious.

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.

Thanks for sharing I just had my first shot in the knee and it's not perfect but so much better

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.

I don't have a Breg Slingshot, but this video is very useful for almost any arm sling. It is nice to have a medical doctor explain how to use this device, because he understands the anatomy of the shoulder and the conditions needed for injuries to heal.

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.

Very informative,thank you.

Incorrect, steroids cause necrosis of the remaining cartilage…permanently

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

My Dr. said once every 3 months is acceptable. I've had one knee replacement 5 yrs ago & required several injections prior to that. After the injection, I'm good to go for around 4 months, before the pain becomes unbearable. Cartilage is wearing out on other knee & replacement will be within the next year or so. I'm doing fine with my FAKE knee!!!

My knee injections lasted 2 years !!

Where you guys located?

Cortisone (steroids) can do more harm than good. It can worsen or even cause arthritis, it can cause cause hypertension, diabetics. It can affect organs like kidney and adrenals. It can lead to atrophy, it can cause depression. It can cause immune suppression and make individuals more prone to diseases. Please beware

Arn't these just temporary for pain you can only get so many done.

I had hip injections to hold off replacement surgery, helped pain but the second one 3 months later never helped. Had the surgery.

Hi, can the cortizone shoot cause a meniscues tear??

My mother at 73 got TKR at Amritsar India..still in pain mostly at night..we are much worried as it has been three months now

I wish that this were a more detailed description. For example, when do people take which drugs? The strongest drug for just before physical therapy with a therapist and less strong drugs for when people do physical therapy at home on their own? What about for overnight, when you're just trying to be able to sleep reasonably comfortably?

Lol we don't have such Dr in India for poor people

Very informative ..thank you

My mom was prescribed OxyContin and it’s messing with her stomach can barely eat because she’s nauseous

I had a total knee replacement, but my pain is so bad when bending it can I get lidocaine injection to numb it so they can bend it. Will this help I spoke to a doctor Abt it

How long Cortisone shot effect remains & is it safe ?

Still in pain 6 week out Aleve and tyneol not helping? My doctor has me on Tramadol

Pain is terrible 3 days out I ice physical therapy hard to sleep

Waste of money. Temporary fix with crap results. Look into Platelet Rich Plasma. Avoid his ideas

Thats the dumbest thing . Steroids eat or damage the joint. You should learn more about regenitive medicine like PRP.

Best is PROLOTHERAPY injections... as it is a regenerative repair therapy... long term result is obtained rather than just pain relief

Very helpful.

Can you have the knee shots a year after knee replacement, when the knee still hurts?

Thanks so much for the video have my surgery June 15

It didn't help me any

Don’t get the TKR! Just suck it up unless you’re in a wheelchair or have a life-threatening condition. I have bone on bone arthritis, work as a chef, 54 years old, and still ski every winter.

Make sure you monitor your blood sugar levels. Steroids are notorious in raising blood sugar levels.

"doctor" probably gets commission for every shot

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.

Very helpful, thank you very much. I have a long way to go.

I was able to get rid of my herpes simplex virus and sore throat through the help of herbal remedies that I ordered from Dr. Odion💯. czcams.com/channels/LJPudFNpftjjnmFkkPGt7g.html I want everyone here to know that Dr. Odion is also specialized in curing all kinds of diseases with the help of his herbal treatment

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?

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?!

What do you do for patients who can't take anti-inflammatory drugs because of the side effect of legs swelling?

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?

Thank you .

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.

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.

Cortisone is the step before surgery bc it deteriorates the bone and joint material. This is probably why surgeons I suggest these shots

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

Shut up you idiots people know about stem cell /prp rather than your useless ssteroid

Got allergic reaction to the cortisone. Looked it up and found out it's called face flush. Had slow heartbeat also.
