Difference Between Synthetic And Natural Cortisone Shots?
Are all cortisone shots used synthetic anymore and what is the difference in effectiveness when used? I recently had a cortisone shot but no one ever mentions synthetic or natural and I forgot to ask the doctor but will next time. Is the natural hormone still used?
