Traditional Treatments Underfire – Steroid Injections and Shoulder Pain

In a recent study from the Annals of Rheumatic Diseases, the authors, Dr. Hay and Dr. Van Der Windt, out of both the Netherlands and United Kingdom, compared the results of traditional shoulder pain treatment in the primary care setting and the effects of those treatments Mk 677 for sale. Both studies attempted to assess the differences in how these patients were treated and the progress they made. They first noted that shoulder problems are common with up to 47% adults in the general population reporting such symptoms in a 1 year period.

Dr. Van Der Windt’s study in the Netherlands found that the effectiveness of a steroid injection did help in the short term, but not as much in the long term. The study did not find any difference in the status of a sufferer of shoulder pain when their situation was reassessed twelve months later when their treatment consisted of physical therapy and steroid injections into the shoulder Lgd 4033 for sale.

Dr. Hay’s study found similar results in the United Kingdom, where it was noted that the success of steroid injections were evident in the short term, but the treatment became less helpful in the longer term.

Overall, both researchers found that patients realized similar improvement even though the United Kingdom group was given steroid injections later in the course of the treatment.
