why would you radomnly shoot cortisone into athletes it is only a localized painkiller,i had a friend who played college ball in the 80s and he told me the trainer shot them up with deca all the time,it wasnt as big a deal then.
If I remember the post correctly, he said his friend had knee problems so I wouldn't call that "random". Cortisone is more than a painkiller, it also greatly reduces inflammation rather quickly. But the down side is that 1. About a day or two after, the localized pain is worse before it gets better and 2. Cortisone is only good for about 2-4 shots per year.
