Corticosteroid (CS) injections are commonly used both in primary and secondary care in the management of chronic shoulder pain. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2, the causative virus for COVID-19) outbreak a pandemic and global health emergency. There was initial concern with the use of CS injections during the COVID-19 pandemic because of the increased potential for adrenal insufficiency and altered immune response. This led to the publication of guidelines from societies around the world. The aim of this article is to critically appraise the evidence that form the rationale behind these guidelines and to review the alternative treatment options for the management of shoulder pain during the COVID-19 pandemic. |
