A corticosteroid medication, a robust and long-acting medicine reduces inflammation and provides pain relief over an extended period, is also injected.How It Helps. Joint injections are helpful in treating pain and inflammation in the shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, ankles, hands, and feet.
