Benefits

Steroid injections contain depo-medrone (methyl-prednisolone) which is a potent corticosteroid that helps to dampen or reduce inflammation in the affected area. 

In some cases like trigger finger or frozen shoulder it can cure or expedite the natural resolution of the problem. While in other cases, like knee arthritis or carpal tunnel syndrome, it can reduce the symptoms of a flare up of the condition and provide temporary relief for week to several months at a time.
