Chronic leg pain sciatic n thigh/butt. had 2 cortisone shots. pain is gone. been 3 wks. dr said i had bursitis. what does this mean if shot helped?

Cortisone works!: Cortico-steroids are life saving drugs that are used to reduce acute inflammation. It can truly be a miracle drug, but unfortunately riddled with side effects and uncomfortable long term signs and symptoms: the fact that it worked may not be diagnostic for bursitis, though very possible. Prolonged use shuts your adrenals from working and weight gain, facial swelling, insomnia & many probs ensue.
