DHEA, Cortisone, Prolotherapy

I had a cortisone shot for a shoulder that hurts when I reach forward or backward, and sometimes when turning my hand. The shoulder slides forward instead of rotating correctly. The Dr. said I have loose joints. In one month I will have prolotherapy to tighten the joint.

He recommended that I start taking DHEA. Is this safe? I am 72 and very active. He also prescribed Voltaren Gel, which has some very scary side effects, and I hesitate to even use it topically on my shoulder.

Please let mek now what you recommend. Thank you!
