Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per your history, Cortisone injections can give some relief for some days, you have to take repeated injections. So kindly consult with orthopedician regarding the same. It has side effects like decreased immunity, recurrent infections etc. Take care.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
