Hi and thanks for this query.
I am sorry you did not list the medicines. Please consider re-posting the question if it doesn't exactly feel with the answer below.
From the information you have provided, I am concerned that he wants to advice you to use steroid injections. This is an absolute no. It is considered abuse and if you were to be involved in any competitive sports, then you shall be disqualified for such practices. It affects almost every system of the body including cardiovascular(stroke, thromboses, etc), endocrine(diabetes), dermatological (baldness, acne, etc), psychiatric,(irritability, depression, suicidal ideations) and so many others. I strongly and strongly discourage you from ever trying to use these injections for any possible reasons.
Hope this answers your query fully. feel free to fall back with more questions if need be and we shall gladly address them. I wish you wel
