I generally use Adcortyl with a hint of Xylocaine. I think that for a sucessful
outcome to Tennis Elbow injection you must "fan out" and hit all the tender
spots. When I was timid about these injections, often there was no improvement.
With knee joints I was taught to approach anteriorly and always found this
fraught with failure. Then I read in a book that the best approach for knee is
just below the superior pole of the patella either laterally or medially and
since I adopted this approach I have never had any trouble.
Do any GPs on the list inject in or around the shoulder at all ? Is it easy ?
