How Do Diprofos Injections Help In Arthritic Pains?

My grandmother has problems with her knees, hips, and arms --it's some arthritis pain, but I haven't been told specifically-- her doctor reccomended a series of diprofos injections taken once a month for so many months. He specifcally told her not to take it too often, and it's got her worried. We would like to know how diprofos is supposed to help her and what are some of the risks/side-effects involved with this drug?

Hello

I have studied your case.

Diprofos is steroid which has many side effect ,do not take without consulting your doctor.
Cushing disease can occur due to steroid supplement.
Steroids can lead to peptic ulcer,osteoporosis,avascular necrosis of bones.
You need proper clinical examination and medication accordingly.


I will advise you to take neurotropics like methylcobalamine with analgesics.
