Is Infection With Joints Pain Possible After A Cortisone Injection For Tendonitis?
Hello, Consult an orthopedician and plan for an MRI scan. As of now, you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like Aceclofenac/Serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
