A member asked:
Is there a length of time i should wait in between cortisone shots in my shoulder?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Definitely: Should wait at least two weeks between injections, and no more than 3-4 injections in the same shoulder per year. More than that could risk joint damage, or mean the diagnosis or treatment option is incorrect.
