Cortisone injection for tendinitis

[CoteDAzur]

Does anyone have experience of this?

Tendinitis on my hip (from running) just won't go away. It's been five months that I have been completely inactive, and even then, I'm in pain most days OK, not debilitating pain, but the kind that niggles and you know it's always there.

On Monday, I willhave a cortisone injection directly to the affected tendons. There is a lot of conflicting information out there - it heals tendinitis, no it doesn't except for a few months temporary relief, it weakens the tendon and it might snap etc.

I've had three injections in my elbow for tendonitis. Theres little good quality for anything working tbh, but physio, eccentric loading, plus cortisone can certainly help.
I'm having acupuncture with an nhs physio now, along with exercises, and it has helped a lot

What is eccentric loading?

Low long have you been suffering with tendinitis?

I've been doing physio, osteo, icing, ultrasound therapy, and shockwave therapy.

Its extending muscles under tension - if you google, theres a lot on it. I've had issues with it for 9 months, but been in treatment for 6 months. Its compounded by not being able to use the other arm, so I do things awkwardly

That might be what my physic has been telling me to do. He makes me do stretches while standing up (bearing weight on my hip) rather than lying down.

I had tendinitis on my shoulder once. That took 4 months to go away, which was long enough I thought, but it was easier because it was possible to not use that arm. Whereas this muscle is used even when sitting and standing, so you can't rest it at all.
