I wonder if you can share your opinion or experience of having a steroid injection to ease arthritis pain.<\/p>
A friend has recommended them, but when I ask my GP about ways to cope with the pain I am told to take Paracetamol on a regular basis. This doesn't help with the stiffness or reduce the pain significantly.<\/p>
The pain in my hip and knee stops me from getting to sleep, and even wakes me up during the night.<\/p>
What are you doing to help with the pain, and what is your opinion\/experience of steroid injections? I have been told that the injections can give relief for up to two years.<\/p>
many thanks, Steph<\/p>","bodyRaw":"[{\"insert\":\"Hi everyone oniine - \\nI wonder if you can share your opinion or experience of having a steroid injection to ease arthritis pain.\\nA friend has recommended them, but when I ask my GP about ways to cope with the pain I am told to take Paracetamol on a regular basis.
