A member asked:
Is it possible to have cortisone injection for bursitis under general anaesthetic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bursitis of what?: I'm not sure you would find anyone willing to do that as I t seems a bit much to have general for a trigger point injection. I don't think an insurance company would pay for that either.
