Should i abstain fromtaking oral anti inflammatorys after having a cortisone injection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on your need: The goal of the cortisone injection is to decrease your symptoms to the point where you don't need to take anti- inflammatories. That being said, a short course, if you need them is okay. Ask your doctor which one you should take, at what dose, and for how long.
