A member asked:
My husband had a cortisone shot for tennis elbow and is in excruciating pain. how can we eliminate it and when will he fell better?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You should contact: the doctor who gave him the shot. Pain from injection should subside in a day or two. Pain from his underlying condition might not improve for some time however.
