A member asked:
I think i have tennis elbow - it started in my left arm but now also in my right - i am told cortisone injections can fix it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Avoid cortisone: Prolotherapy with dextrose or PRP or ozone can do a much better job on epicondylitis, and these do not damage joints. If you have no other option, a single cortisone injection might help but please don't get more than one.
