Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Rooster comb injection doesn’t contain steroids and its main constituents are natural substances like hyaluronic acid that has almost no side effects. They act like a lubricant in the knee and reduce both friction and pain. You can take rooster comb without any concerns.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
