Cortisone shot for joint pain

Can a cortisone shot be injected in my wrist?

In medicine sometimes the only criteria for a procedure is your ability to pay. If you have money, doctors will inject cortisone anywhere you like. 


If I were you, I would think twice about getting a cortisone shot. The overall benefits are mild and the procedure is expensive. Many people see no difference. 

Unfortunately, there are some desperate people who are willing to try anything for pain relief and then there are also many suckers-who never heed good medical advice.
