@helennicola I agree. It depends on the issue. That and surgery is my last resort after trying everything else. In my case with tendonitis many years ago, i did not know any better and had an injection. Needless to say, the injection was so painful that it caused me to tear. After all that, it did nothing to help my health condition. My tendonitis was an inflammation caused by a repetitive movement. Since then, over the years, I have learned to stop that movement and the inflammation will dissipate in time on its own. Last year I had developed tendinitis in a different location. It was painful. I did nothing. Not even a pain medication. Within a few months, it went away. Best wishes to you.Toni

Toni, sorry for your painful negative experience, I know tendinitis and bursitis can go away on their own but it ain’t happening with me! I did have frozen shoulder about 20 yrs. ago which was the same story but after 1 yr. it did finally go away on its own, p/t was very painful and did not help. I have had this hip bursitis for 6 months now which was not caused by overuse, accident or repetitive movement and have tried everything so hopefully an injection will have some lasting benefit. I had one years ago which lasted for 2 yrs. and another which eliminated my plantar fasciitis for good after trying everything else for 1 year with no success. I do think having had about 4 injections and taking steroid pills for poison ivy and an allergic reaction to mango skin over a 2-3 year period contributed to my having cataract surgery sooner than my eye dr. anticipated. I was 71 at the time so we don’t know for sure but I’m grateful because now I can see perfectly w/o the need for lenses. 😁 Helen
