Is There Any Oral Medication For Pain In Elbow Other Than Injection?

I am having pain for quite some time in my elbow and the lower part of my hand, especially after walking up in the morning. The blood tests show a high A S O titre--304 I U/mL. My physician suggested injection with a gap of three weeks for five years. Is there any alternative? I happy uneasy about that injection to be pushed at my lower back. Oral medication could have been a better option for me.

hello, I have studied your case and i think that you do not need to take injection for five yearts just for this pain, This injection prevent developing of heart disease also and it is given in hip and not in the back.
So i would uggest you to go ahead with this injection to prevent heart disease.
Thanks
