JFYI, just for your information, Steroid shots have many effects.
One positive effect is anti-inflammatory, so it feels better.
One negative effect is destruction of that connective tissue.
That doesn't ALWAYS happen, but it's very common.
Some people use anti-inflammatory foods, teas and supplements to reduce that inflammation.
Then they eat animal parts high in connective tissue to provide the body with the nutrients to repair the ligaments and tendons.
