Hello, can a cortisone shot to knee take one week to take effect for pain to get better? thank you
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cortison shot: Hi, the immediate effect is from Lidociane used at the same time as Steroid injection, that usually wears off in couple of hours and the steroid starts taking affect in 3-5 days and can last for months.
