A member asked:

Had cortisone shot in knee for inflammation 5 weeks ago. painfree when walking now, but still painful when going downstairs.do i need another shot?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes and no: sometimes a second injection will do the trick. What you really need is a diagnosis! Have you had an x-ray? Kneecapt pain especially on stairs can be an early symptom of kneecap arthritis; especially in a 57-year-old woman.
