Research shows steroid injections are harmful in chronic tendon injuries such as tennis elbow, golfers elbow and achilles tendinopathy and ultimately worsens the condition. If pain does disappear its usually because it would have anyway. Doctors still think that tendinopathies are inflammatory, therefore keep referring steroid injections (anti-inflammatory). Sport therapy takes a while but works in the long run!! For more severe cases there are other options, these will be discussed with your therapist. Remember - never go with steroid injections. They work for a few weeks but the pain eventually comes back worse. m.ajs.sagepub/content/39/6/1200
