Steroid Treatments for Keloid Painful?

Goodmorning
I have had steroid treatments in the past for my keloid and they have always been very painful. I have even refused to take anymore because of the pain during the injections. I have a large one on my ear and several more throughout my body. I have had the one on my ear and some on my body removed before and because of the pain, I could no longer keep up with the injections.
