It is a proven technique in case of chronic pain. in rheumatology, corticosteroids and hyaluronic acid are used as a second-line treatment, when rest, physiotherapy sessions or medication have given insufficient results.
In some cases, such as tendonitis, the infiltration heals. In others, it helps to overcome a painful period or avoid surgery.
Kind of like a light pinch. rheumatologists are experienced and in some places they add a little anesthetic. in the evening, in case of slight pain, paracetamol is taken or cold is applied.
We stop reading forums on the internet and we go there without stress:anxiety increases the feeling of pain. as for the risk of infection, it is very low (1 case out of 38,000). of course, we dare to ask all the questions to the doctor who will tell us, for example, what rest time to observe before dancing salsa again.
