3rd cortizone (hydrocortisone) shot in knee from torn medial meniscus. bothering me today worse. is this pain normal? will it subside & how long? injured 3 yrs ago

See Specialist: If you are still having pain with knee after an injury 3 years ago I would definitely make an appointment with an orthopedic specialist for further evaluation and workup. Your recurrent pain could be a mechanical issue that requires surgery. The longer you wait the worse your knee could get.
