The more commonly discussed joint injections for RA include cortisone (corticosteroid) injections, which are used to:
- Reduce inflammation in specific joints
- Relieve chronic pain, stiffness, and swelling
- Provide faster relief while waiting for DMARDs or biologics to fully kick in
It would be worth having a detailed conversation with your rheumatologist about why they're recommending Botox specifically over more established options, and what the expected benefits and risks would be for your situation.
