Many inflammations of joint areas can be treated by injections of cortisone into the area. Why don't we continually get injections rather than surgeries?
What will be an ideal response?
A joint inflammation is always a symptom of an underlying problem such as cartilage or ligament damage, arthritis, etc. Continued injection might cause the patient to reinjure the area, or it might mask a more severe injury that may appear later.
