I have arthritis all thru my body. About every major joint,hands ,neck and up and down the spine, and plantar faciitus in my feet. Two spinal surgeries, one replaced shoulder and many steroid injections, plus chemical and electric de-nervation of nerves in my lower back.I have come to the conclusion that these damn doctors only guess at what they think will work.They will do a ct scan and MRI and only look at one thing.
As stated the steroid injections to arthritic joints only last about three weeks and it needs to be right in the area of inflammation. It does travel thru out the body, but with limited help.
Since elk season my right knee has been swollen ans sore.Steroid injection between ML season and rifle season but it wore off in three weeks
To get thru it I have been using Sombra Cool Therapy cream mixed with CBD oil twice a day
Vince, have you tried Voltaren gel? Works pretty good, the generic is called diclofenac. I used a lot of it on my ankle and have a metric ton left over.
