If you're considering a steroid injection, it's important to understand how long it will last and how frequently it can be administered. In this video, we'll provide general guidance on the duration of a steroid injection, which can range from six weeks to six months, depending on the underlying condition. We'll also discuss the recommended frequency of steroid injections, which is typically limited to three injections into the same region within a 12-month period to avoid potential tissue damage. While steroid injections are generally safe, we'll also cover potential side effects and direct you to our patient information leaflet for more information. Watch this video to learn more about steroid injections and their role in an overall treatment and management program.
