Just got corticosteroid injections into my hips

[onterrible]

highly recommend.  I have UC and AnkSpon so my SI joints were starting to erode and calcify.  I feel like im 10 years younger now.  prednisone acetate 1ml in each hip joint.  17 gauge needle .

 

Anyone else get these done.   its a miracle for a few months... sometimes lasts forever

I hope it lasts forever onterrible. Had the injections in both elbows. It did help greatly, but didn't last. Had a total of 3 in each. Depending on the body part, there is a maximum amount of injections they will give you. I was at a point were I couldn't even lift a glass of water. Only thing that healed me was doing nothing for a full, boring year. I can only imagine the pain you feel. Sending my thoughts your way that everything works out. Take care.

I’m feeling like I’ll have to eventually do this in my hands and knees. They are both fairly arthritic and I’m only 32! I gotta wonder if this is going to be the way it goes soon.

My grandma had bad arthritis, she would get gold injections.

I wonder if that is still a thing
