A member asked:
How often can you get cortisone shots in the same joint? i got one in my wrist 3 weeks ago and it has worn off.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No rule of thumb: There is no hard and fast rule how many times cortisone injection can be given. It depends upon the severity of symptoms and the diagnosis. Generally if you had 3 injections in the same joint in one year then you need other treatment like surgery.
