All of the above causes of pain usually result in inflammation of the joint. This can be treated with rest and activity modification, physical therapy that improves alignment and strength of the joint, anti-inflammatory medications, and steroid injections into the joint that can be done in under 5 minutes and can provide profound and often prolonged pain relief.
The steroid injection can be done in the office, and numbing medication is used to reduce pain during the procedure.
