Short conversation (YouTube transcript) warning that corticosteroid injections damage local tissues — tendons, ligaments, and joints — especially with repeated injections. Speakers (orthopedic clinicians) state that multiple injections can accelerate arthritic progression, harm surrounding tissues, and increase risk of complications from further injections or interventions.
The problem with steroid injections overall is one we know very conclusively from many.
Many studies.
That steroid injection damages the.
Tissue that we injected into.
And this counts.
For tendon.
This counts.
For ligament.
This counts for joint. So any tissue that we would put a steroid into will be damaged over time, especially if we do.
Multiple steroid injections into the same area.
And as an orthopedic.
Surgeon, I've spent years and years doing multiple steroid injections into the same area.
And believe me when I tell you that you see.
Patients who have multiple.
Steroid injections.
Do have progression of their arthritic disease.
And oftentimes, steroid not only damages the inside of your joint.
And the tissues surrounding it.
But it also creates an environment that increases.
Your risk of complications.
Both from further injections and interventions, and.
Then also from surgery.
