Corticosteroid Injections for Musculoskeletal Injuries

Guest: Stephen J. Wisniewski, M.D.  Host: Jeffrey S. Brault, D.O. (@JeffBrault)  How do you counsel your patients about the risks and benefits of corticosteroid injections? How long should you expect their pain relief to last and how do you decide when and if to repeat one? Dr. Stephen Wisniewski discusses the choice between treatment with corticosteroid injections versus NSAIDS, side effects, and the benefits of using ultrasound guidance.  Connect with the Mayo Clinic’s PM&R Department on Twitter @MayoClinicPMR.
