Musculoskeletal complications related to corticosteroid (CS) therapy
CSs downregulate inflammatory cytokines
CS therapy widely used for systemic and focal inflammatory conditions, immune suppression, and pain relief
IMAGING
Systemic Corticosteroid Complications: Oral and IV
Directed Corticosteroid Injection Complications: Joints, Tendon sheaths, Bursa
