Mine has always been one side more than the other.

I have had the problem of one joint hurting more than

the other. For example, if my elbows are inflamed, the

right one (which has had the direct steroid shots)

hurts more than the left side. Also, the joints which

have had the steroid shots directly into the joint

hurts more than the joint which had not had a direct

steroid shot in the joint. My right knee, elbow, and

hip have all had a direct steroid shot. When the

joints hurt, it is usually the right one which hurts

worse.

Hope this helps.
