A member asked:
Is it normal for my knee to be sore after a cortisone shot? and how long does that last? had one on my knee, will it be easier to walk longer now?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on how long: Soreness after a cortisone injection is normal for first 24-48hrs after injection but if lasting longer the injection may not have worked. If it has worked then yes, you may be able to walk longer with less pain.
