Research Notes on Cortisone Shots for Arthritis
Cortisone shots in the joints are used to relieve pain, swelling, and inflammation for patients with arthritis. Proper placement of the needle and using numbing agent is very important before giving the shot. It may take a few days before the corticosteroid may work and applying an ice pack may help relieve a sore injection site. Cortisone shots can provide pain relief for months and following the doctor's instructions can help heal the area properly.
