Cortisol Shots?

[Rocco32]

Hey, I couldn't figure which thread to post this in. I've got killer tendonitis up my forarms and in my elbows. Really been affecting my lifting. One of the Ortho docs I work with offered to give me cortisol shots in my arms to help. What does everyone think about that?

Dont know much bout this, but my mom got one a few years ago... it helpt somewhat... But nowadays they are banned here in Sweden, deemed "inhuman". The amount it helps doesnt make up the pain when taking the shot. Or so they say.

Cortisone will help but know that there are risks.

Cortisone, sorry man thanks for the correction. Yeah I know there are risks, that's why I need to figure if it is worth it or not. Right now I have constant pain in my arms and it affects my training of course. Been this way since High school.
