Depends: Depends on what you're using and how long you use it for. People who are on steroids for many years may never recover normal funciton.

24-48 hours: Sometimes the local anesthetic will give a couple hours of relief but the steriod begins to active within 24-48 hours.

Not long: Any chemo drugs including steroids are eliminated from our body in 1 or 2 days(maximum 5 days for some drugs). But their effects on the body can last for much longer time, usually for several weeks.
