I'm not sure if I mentioned that steriod's, oral and injected cause trememdous hair loss. I'm off all steroids for eczema, but last July had steroids injected into my knees, supposedly targeted and time released and explained it would work for 3 months. Yes my knee pain was gone, but that treatment, even though it was supposed to be limited to the knee area, causedthe worst hair loss on my head I ever had from other steroids, starting about 2 1/2 months after the injections. The steroid has worn off exactky 3 months later as advertized, so pain is back. My new hair growth is about 5 inches long. If I kept up with this treatment I would surly go bald.

Thanks for even more confirmation that the steroids are a bad idea. I will definitely NOT be using them. Glad to hear your hair is making a recovery!

Have you tried Hyaluronic acid for your knees? 3 injections over 3 weeks. Pretty effective. Also, for fairly quick temporary relief I use Voltarin, over the counter. It can be a godsend. A non-steroidal cream for arthritis joint pain. Several orthopedists have recommended it to me.
