Cortisone: Even a properly performed cortisone injection can take up to a week or more to really take effect. If you are having any symptoms of infection, such as redness, warmth at the injection site, drainage, swelling see your doctor for treatment. Otherwise, give it a couple more days for the cortisone to take effect.
