Facet Joint Injections - Anyone had success?

I'm coming to this discussion in total ignorance, having never heard of facet injections. Can someone please tell me exactly what kind of medication is injected? Is it always corticosteroid? Or can other things be injected? I have severe osteoporosis as well as the lumbar stenosis, so am supposed to stay away from steroids as much as possible.

There is another option for certain conditions- hyluronic acid…often used for knees but other things as well. Not a steroid, acts like body’s natural fluids…some people have had success with it and fewer side effects. But, all injections are temporary.
