Guest guest Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 Hi I just got a cortisone shot today in the knee. I had no problems with the injection. The doctor said it is going to burn. Nope not at all, just the pressure of it going in about did me in. But besides the discomfort from the pressure, I had no problem with it and its been 16 hours since.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 I, too, had a rebound effect from a 40 mg cortisone shot. I am very sensitive to drugs and I think this was just too much for me. Much smaller dose cortisone injections into a specific joint used to give me relief that lasted for several months.
