Hi butterfly26, how are you and hope you are feeling better of the pain with steroid injections? I feel the procedure and plan of care depends on the decision of the attending orthopedic surgeon. You can discuss and clear your concerns with the doctor before getting the shot. Hope this link may be helpful to you:
