A member asked:
What is the maximum number of cortisone injections a person have in multiple joints per year?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See details: You need to provide more specifics. What type of arthritis is present? What systemic therapies have been tried? Has the person seen a rheumatologist? In general, repeated injections of multiple joints are not a good idea.
