Steroid do dick all for tissue healing but do everything for inflammation.

yup - offers instant relief to pain/inflammation but perhaps must not be given for long term use if the risk outweighs the benefit of the treatment.

Sadly they don’t work for me. I’m sincerely jealous of those who it does work for.

Me neither. I had doctors trying to give them to me for years for nasty flairs of joint pain mostly in knees and shoulders. I know they don't work and they hate it when you don't follow their suggested course of action. After about 20 years of that I finally found out I have a hereditary disorder with joint pain similar to arthritis being a primary symptom. Steroids wouldn't have helped and would have just made things worse.
