Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of severe elbow joint damage is more likely.
No point in the taking Cortisol injection further.
In my opinion, joint replacement might help you.
So consult replacing surgeon and discuss about benefits of replacing elbow joint in you.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
