Cortisone injections. Should I go for it? Please comment :)

I have tried pretty much every cream out there to try and get my hair back and the one that i'm using now doesn't seem to be doing much either, I've almost given up! The last option that i really have is multiple cortisone injections into my scalp. I don't know much about them and would much appreciate any information or feedback on them...are they painful? I'm not very good with needles but i'll try anything! PLEASE comment if you have any experience with them or even just a bit of info! Thanks! :) x

I found them painful (but manageable and the pain went away fast) but they didnt help me. I got some regrowth, but my hair was falling out faster than we could keep up with the shots so I stopped.

I mean, it is worth a try, right?

I have had 18 shots and they did not really work for me, but they work for some people. Give it a try but they are a little painful.

I'm bad with needles myself but I had the shots because I wanted my hair back. Really depends on how much hair you've lost, it's better if it's little patches instead of a massive area. Worth a try, good luck :) xx

I've been getting the shots for a few months now, and I am seeing a little regrowth. It is pretty patchy but its coming back! As for the pain, a lot of dermatologists will give you painkillers if you ask.
