Title: Depo-medrone with lidocaine for tendonitis
Post by: Ally Smith on July 13, 2006, 08:53:24 pm

My girlfriend has come down with tendonitis of the wrist and elbow and has been recommended a cortosteroid injection of the above type as a possible treatment route.
Does anyone out there have any experience of how successful these injections are? What about reoccurance of the problem after it's healed up the once?
If it's help the injury wasn't caused by climbing (merely aggravated) but by her pesky work laptop.  >:(
Thanks all.
