A member asked:
I have bursitis and patellar tendinitis. got injected with cortisone for the bursitis. should i have pain only in the tendons now? because i don't.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Cortisone is a potent anti- inflammatory, and so a cortisone injection can help with inflammation in the bursa, but also the tendons and other structures as well.
