If you have arthritis, you may have considered a cortisone shot as part of your treatment plan. These shots are not pain relievers.

Cortisone injections can be used to treat inflammation of small areas of the body, such as inflammation of a specific joint or tendon.
Cortisone Injection Injectable corticosteroid or âsteroid injectionsâ commonly called âcortisone,â have been used by orthopaedic professionals since the early 1950s for a variety of painful conditions including tendinitis and arthritis. long acting local anaesthetic is either injected prior to injecting the steroid or both the local anaesthetic and steroid are injected mixed together. There is usually immediate pain relief from the injection. The pain returns when the local anaesthetic wears off usually after about 8-14 hours.
