These cortisone shots will never heal any problem. They are a crutch, destined to reduce inflamation /pain (when combined with a long acting anaesthetic), and thus allowing for a better treatment of the basic condition.

The reduced blood flow thing is not the issue. Problem with repeated shots is that the risk of granuloma buildup increases, therefore 3-4 shots a year in the same place is the maximum recommended.

Believing that the cortisone/anaesthetic shot will heal anything is akin to believing that paint over rust will make it go away...
