Loretta Grentzer of Marblehead, Ohio understands the power of a steroid shot. Diagnosed with osteoarthritis (OA) in her knee and the patella-femoral joint-the joint between her kneecap and the femur-over 13 years ago, she was able to manage the pain initially with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and physical therapy throughout the first six years of her condition.
