Tennis Elbow And Steroid Injections

Steroid injections into the painful area of the elbow can cause the pain to stop permanently for some people though in many cases it will return, possibly after only a matter of weeks.

Usually your doctor would not give more than three injections of steroids into the same area.

Possible side effects of steroid injections are
* Pain on injection.
* Atrophy of (shrinking or loss of) the fatty tissue under the skin at the injection site.
* De pigmentation (loss of colouration) of the skin around the injection site.
* Damage to the tendon around the elbow, although this is very rare.
