The cortisone shots can be painful in certain areas but they are well worth it. After 2 rounds on shots/ 2 months of treatment, My hair has begun to regrow!

yes, they work for a few weeks and depending how much you hurt, whether you want to take them or not.

This worked wonderfully but I could BARELY move my shoulder the day after. It didn't last though. That's the problem and I don't have insurance to keep getting them.

Every 4 weeks they inject cortisone into the bald spots. The hair does grow back but it does take a few months. The shots are painful but very worth it to me.

Has helped short-term but not otherwise at least in my experience.

Pain relief was wonderful. Steroid induced psychosis was horrid, cost me my job and I spent a week in a psych unit of the hospital. NEVER AGAIN.
