IN THIS ARTICLEMedicationsSteroid injections can be made into the inflamed area. Although steroid injections are safe, they are usually limited to 2-3 times a year. More than that will weaken the tendon and make it more likely to rupture. If positive results are not seen with the first injection, additional injections are also unlikely to work. |
