Steroids: What Are They and How Do They Work? Types, Dosage, Benefits, Side Effects, and Alternatives
In this #video we will discuss the topic of steroids - what they are and how they work. We will explore the different types of steroids, their recommended dosage, potential benefits, and the time it takes for them to start acting. Additionally, we will cover the duration of action, potential side effects, whether steroids can be repeated, and if other #painkillers lose their effectiveness after steroid use. We will also touch upon steroid alternatives and address the issue of pain during injections.
Steroids are commonly used as painkillers for various conditions, including #arthritis and #slippeddisc . However, it is crucial to administer steroid injections under proper guidance to avoid any side effects that can potentially damage the tissues at the injection site.
Some commonly used steroids include Dexamethasone, Triamcinolone, and Methylprednisolone. The dosage of steroids plays a significant role, as larger doses can lead to more side effects, while smaller doses may offer limited relief. Therefore, it is important to strike a fine balance based on your specific condition.
The effects of steroids on the body depend on factors such as the location of the injection, correct injection site, and individual variation. Common side effects may include pain at the injection site, steroid flare, and mild fluctuations in sugar levels. However, rare side effects such as changes in skin color, skin dip due to fat melting, glaucoma, mood changes, and menstrual cycle changes can also occur. Oral steroids generally tend to have more side effects compared to injectable steroids.
Can steroids be used repeatedly, or does the efficacy of other painkillers diminish after steroid use? Currently, there is no conclusive research evidence regarding this matter, so there's no need to worry. The frequency of steroid use can range from 2-3 times a year, depending on your condition. However, repeated injections in specific sites like the knee have been associated with injuries, so it is generally advisable to use the minimum effective dosage.
When it comes to alternatives to steroids, options such as platelet-rich plasma, radio-frequency treatment, or knee replacements can be considered for conditions like #kneearthritis . The choice of alternatives will depend on your specific condition and should be decided in consultation with a #painspecialist .
Pain during steroid injections is similar to any other injection and can vary in intensity according to individual perception.
In conclusion, if your doctor has recommended steroid #treatment there is no need to worry. However, it is essential to ensure that the injections are guided by imaging modalities for accuracy. Additionally, be prepared for varying responses to the treatment, and keep in mind that injectable steroids usually have fewer side effects compared to oral steroids. Regarding the dosage of steroids, your #doctor is the best person to make decisions based on your condition. If you are looking for alternatives to steroids, it is advisable to consult a pain specialist who can guide you through the options.
