So just been diagnosed with an inflamed iliotibial band following an mri.
Luckily not the damaged lateral meniscus as previously thought.
Now my question is, The hospital want to pump it full of hydrocortisone and then some light physio.
Do I really need to go through steroid injection treatment and would lots of physio be mutually beneficial even though it might take longer?
I read online that steroid injection is one of the last resorts for this kind of injury.
Are the hospital just trying to do excess treatment (private hospital)?
