Pain can be a difficult issue, due to the many sources it can derive from. May it be long term chronic pain, post-operative pain, old age and even in some cases, complex and unexplained pain. One thing is for certain, it’s a pain you could do without and (med)24 is here to help every step of the way.
One of the most common sources of pain that interrupts our life, comes from Joint, Bone, Muscular & Tendon pain, otherwise known as Musculoskeletal (MSK) pain. Which can also include rarer autoimmune diseases and back pain.

However what is useful to know, is more about pain relief injections in general, so, what are they?
As by their given name, pain relief injections are for pain relief. Injections can be more effective than an oral medication because they deliver medication directly to the exact anatomic location that is generating the pain.
There is a wide range of various different pain relief injections available, each with their own subset of specific uses to help treat and ultimately relieve pain in a given area. Typically, a steroid medication is injected to deliver a powerful anti-inflammatory solution directly to the area causing pain.
