I have had Hep C since 1995 when it was diagnosed. I don't take the interferon as my liver labs usually come back fairly normal. The last time I checked for liver enzymes they were at 4 million. I also have chronic bilateral shoulder inflammation that could partially be caused by the long term Hep C. I have also had an MRI with my orthopedic surgeon diagnosed as Hyper/Hypo aplasia of the Glenoid Fossa( I'm not sure which I just know he tells me my shoulder joints never developed completely as a child.) I have a lot of pain and discomfort esp after the cortisone wears off. The cortisone injections I get last almost 2.5 months. I'm wondering if it's ok for me to get the cortisone injections every 3 months as long as my labs stay reasonably good?
