A member asked:
How long after cortisone injection in knee will take into effect and is it normal to experience pain when walking and knee stiffness after the shot?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pain should leave.: Pain should have resolved after the cortisone injection. If pain persist, it means the wrong site was injected or you were misdiagnosed with knee pain when it was something else.
