BuffJim Posted May 17, 2019 Share #2 Posted May 17, 2019 I've had a couple of cortisone shots in my knee, that coupled with draining fluid, worked wonders. Probably the fluid drain had more to do with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kzoo Posted May 17, 2019 Share #5 Posted May 17, 2019 Cortisone is great for extended reduction in inflammation. The problem with cortisone is that after about 3 injections it starts to destroy the joint. Use sparingly. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He prescribed Euflexxa shots instead and they really helped. I'm off crutches and back to riding the bike again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My younger brother had shoulder replacement about 4 years ago. A terrible medical procedure. The shoulder was not designed to be replaced. It was months of healing and then months of PT. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further Posted May 17, 2019 Share #14 Posted May 17, 2019 I had shoulder pain and got a cortisone shot, the shoulder was pain free for about a year. Started hurting again, I went for another shot, thinking that a shot a year wasn't bad. The second shot lasted about 2 weeks..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickinMD ★ Posted May 17, 2019 Share #15 Posted May 17, 2019 I had cortisone in several places over the years, some worked like a charm, some didn't. Good luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
