<s>[INST] Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ?  Please type your query here...I have chest pain that has been diagnosed as costochondritis, and it seems to alternate from my right upper back to my left upper chest.  I am seeing a physio today and would like a cortisone shot.  Are they allowed to do this treatment or is that a GP job? [/INST] hellophysiotherapists cannot give you cortisone shots. it is a steroid drug and you need to go to your gp for the same. is the pain so unbearable that u need a steroid shot? havr you tried NSAIDs like diclofenac </s>
