Brief Answer:
Injection steroid in joint is safer.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have read your query.

Intra articular steroid injection is far safer than steroid pill.

But more safe, effective way is to get hyaluronic acid injection in joint, as its totally safe.

But all this depending upon physical examination by orthopedic surgeon.

I hope your point is clear.

Thanks,
