Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly will I notice the results from a cortisone injection?
For most people, inflammation begins to decrease within 24 to 72 hours after the injection. However, in some cases, it can take up to a week to feel complete relief. Following your specific condition, your provider will let you know what to expect based on your condition.
Are cortisone injections painful?
Most people find cortisone injections to be only mildly uncomfortable. A small needle is used, and a numbing agent can be applied beforehand to reduce any discomfort. After the injection, you might feel a bit of pressure or soreness, which typically fades within a day.
Can I receive multiple cortisone injections?
Yes, but there are limits to how often cortisone can be safely used in the same area. Typically, providers recommend spacing out injections to avoid weakening tissues or causing side effects. Your provider will explain the best plan for your needs.
Are there side effects I should know about?
Minor side effects like redness, swelling, or temporary discomfort at the injection site are common. Rarely, people may experience skin thinning or lightening in the area. All potential risks will be discussed during your consultation so you feel fully informed.
