Tony,
As Bob and Jerry have said, cortisone is a short-term fix. Bad stuff. The beginning of the end for a horse. Corticosteroids have side effects that impact the joint, effect bone and ultimately cause breakdowns. My understanding is that a product called ADEQUAN, which replaces the synovial fluids in the joint, is the "good stuff." Apparently, no drastic side effects there.
By the way, about muscles and recovery times... it's been widely reported that veteran baseball pitcher Roger Clemens has kept up an incredible workout regime to maintain his physical fitness over the years. I wonder what vitamins, supplements etc. the "Rocket's" trainer has him on.
