Ever had a cortisone injection?

you probably already got the shot done and know about any side effects. I'm sorry i didn't answer sooner, but i just noticed this discussion. i have bursitis in my left shoulder which is extremely painful. it's kind of like arthritis. nothing was helping the pain at all so the doctor tried a cortisone shot. it didn't help the pain at all either. i didn't have any added side effects with it and it didn't add any extra pain at all. i hope your wrist feels better

yes i have. a few years ago u had heel spurs that wouldn't go away and they had to put the needle directly in through my heel and into the bone. it got rid of them but it was very painful and back then they wouldn't put you to sleep. i don't know of they do now or not. but i was off my feet for a week afterwards and then i had to use crutches for a week to get back used to walking again.however i do here it is less painful now and recovery time is sooner but i don't know how long.best wishes and for a speedy recovery.
