Guest guest Posted April 12, 2002 Report Share Posted April 12, 2002 , I think the injection into the knee thread is what you might want to follow: there is far less systemic risk from injecting one or two joints than taking cortisone orally. I know you said natural remedies don't work, but have you tried ice? I find it hard to ice my hands, but ice is a natural anti-inflammatory, so I have to mention it. I ice my wrists all the time.
