So far, the injection in my left hip has reduced the pain a lot.
We never considered injections until only my hip was inflamed.
I had two choices; take more prednisone or try the injection. The injection was only 20 mg.

It seems you were having a localized reaction so it makes sense to use the injection. I was having a systemic problem and got a systemic reaction to what should have been a localized shot.
