<p>I read that today, after I scheduled my third cortisone injection of the year (the first two were in the acetabular sockets, this one will be in the iliopsoas tendon). I don't think that the article did a very good job of explaining whether or not the studies controlled for other factors (such as PT and other rehab). I think that if a cortisone injection is your first answer, it might not be the best answer, but if you look at root causes of the injury and address those in your rehab, it can be a useful tool. I know that if I hadn't spent a ridiculous amount of time in PT, and working on my underlying stregnth and movement pattern problems, the injections would have been bandaids. We'll see how things go when I get back to full-time training.</p>
