I just a cortisone shot in my shoulder. I have Tendontis in my right elbow and shoulder and carp. in my hand. I want to know what you think about surgery. How much would something like this cost. If I dont have surgery what is my life going to be like in the future? I was told I can have shots every 3 mths? I am only 51 years old and female.
Dear patient For tendinitis in shoulder or elbow up to three injections at the interval of one month can be taken. More doses are not helpful and leads to tendon degeneration and increased chances of tendon tear and if given inside joint cartilage degeneration. Surgery is helpful for both shoulder and elbow tendinitis and cast varies from doctor to hospital and from one place to other place.
