Hi Kezzo
A steroid injection into the joint can be useful in reducing inflammation quickly. You can't have many of them into any one joint but it's certainly worth discussing with your GP. Sometimes it can be done in the GP's surgery if one of the doctors has had special training in this procedure otherwise it's done in the orthopaedic or rheumatology outpatients.
The following link will get you to info on it
