A member asked:
Is saline solution ever used with a steroid injection in the hip for bursitis?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: To make the steroid more dilute to achieve a wider spread of solution. Some doctors just use more anesthetic instead of saline.

Injection: It's not necessary. It would just add fluid volume to the injection which in turn could lead to a more painful injection.
