The mean age was 46.5 years and follow-up duration was 4 months. Results: The VAS ( visual analogue scale)score showed significant improvement from 8.14 (mean of pre injection) to 2.59 (mean of 4 months post last injection).The Role and Maduselly score showed significant improvement from 81.8% of patients who were acceptable and 18.2% were poor  (pre injection) to 59.1% became excellent, 31.8% good , 4.5% acceptable and 4.5 poor (4 months post last injection)The ultrasound showed mild improvement from 6.04mm (mean of pre injection) to 4.93mm (mean of 4 months post last injection).
