What injection should be injected into the elbow joint with RA?

In the case of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), elbow injections may include corticosteroids, which are effective in relieving inflammation and pain. Hyaluronic acid injections are also used, but their effectiveness in RA is sometimes limited. Collagen preparations are a new option, but there is not enough evidence of their advantages over more traditional methods.

The choice of appropriate elbow injection in RA patients should be made by a physician who will take into account the patient's individual needs, medical history, and response to previous treatments. Corticosteroid injections are often preferred due to their rapid action, while hyaluronic acid and collagen may be considered as alternatives in specific situations.
