Chronic musculoskeletal pain is prevalent in 50% of adults and is the leading cause of disability in the United States [1=Burden MSK dz].1 Systemic corticosteroid treatment of musculoskeletal pain began soon after the discovery and synthesis of cortisone in the 1940s.2 Intraarticular steroid injections followed shortly thereafter, and in 1951, Hollander published the results of a large series of patients treated with corticosteroid joint injections.3 Corticosteroid injections continue to play an important role in the diagnosis and management of acute and chronic musculoskeletal pain. Pain physicians who recognize joint pain versus spine pain and who are proficient in multimodal management of both are well suited to coordinate reasonable utilization of intraarticular injections.
