There are three different steroids known to mankind; they are natural steroids, artificial steroids, and anabolic steroids. Natural steroids are steroids that are already in the human body. Artificial steroids are synthetic natural steroids that function the same as natural steroids in the reduction of inflammation. Anabolic steroids are also synthetic steroids, but their usage is to increase strength and muscle size.

Anabolic steroids are most commonly used by bodybuilders or individuals who want to get stronger and add muscle to their bodies. Anabolic steroids are recommended not to be used because they can become abused and individuals can form an addiction to these steroids.

This article will highlight the need and usage of artificial steroids. The type of individuals recommended for taking steroids is those who suffer from health conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis or any kind of inflammatory arthritis. Steroids can be administered in one of two ways.

The first way that steroids are administered is in the form of pills. The second way that steroids can be administered is in the form of an injection. Individuals suffering from any inflammatory disorder such as rheumatoid arthritis are often recommended to take steroids in the injection form. If an individual is suffering from severe osteoarthritis that causes uncontrollable pain, they too will be recommended to take steroids in an injectable form. Since steroid injections reduce inflammation in the tissues, a positive effect on reducing this inflammation is the decrease of pain.

Steroid injections are not used to treat the actual disease, but it is used to treat the symptoms of diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. There are many different types of steroids available, but the most commonly used steroids are methylprednisolone, hydrocortisone, and triamcinolone. A steroid injection that is effective for at least a week and starts to relieve symptoms within a few hours after the injection is called short-acting soluble steroids by medical professionals.

These types of steroids are called short-acting soluble steroids because they start working quickly and are dissolved rapidly into the body.  Steroids that are not short-acting soluble steroids usually take close to a week to become effective, but they can alleviate symptoms for two months or beyond. These types of injectable steroids are known as less soluble steroids because they take longer to dissolve into the body. When it comes to steroid treatment, how effective the therapy is and how long it lasts depends on the individual’s condition.
