The researchers who did publish this report conducted a randomized, controlled trial on steroid injections for tennis elbow. They gave 43 patients a steroid injection and 40 patients a placebo injection. They gave both groups physical therapy.

After one year, the steroid injections resulted in lower complete recovery or less improvement when compared to the placebo. The results were significant. Their conclusion was stark: After one year, steroid injections resulted in worse clinical outcomes! Even at 26 weeks, the steroid group was far behind the placebo group. What's more, physical therapy did not seem to make a difference in outcomes.

Please don't get steroid injections for local tendon, ligament pain, or into your joints. You have a far better alternative - Prolozone. Prolozone is a simple injection of risk-free oxygen/ozone gas into the joint. I've seen it work miracles. You can see them too.
