I've had this as well, for years and it only takes a stumble or one wrong twist to set it off. I've had the injections, but that's only a temporary fix and my rheumatologist had advised me that ultimately, adding steroids into already damaged tissue will weaken the tissue over time. And since I already have had too many steroids, I now have secondary adrenal insufficiency which requires daily prednisone. So, no more steroid shots in any joints for me. I have special purple cushions in the car, I sit on well cushioned chairs. Get some physical therapy and learn good stretching techniques. I also love sitting on an extra long heating pad that covers bitt to neck. Good luck.

@rdf56 thank you for this information about what you are dealing with and how you manage. No more steroid injections for me either.
