A member asked:
Can it take over a wk 4 a cortisone shot in the knee to work?i had 1 done a wk ago.i still have pain on the lateral side of knee when walking&bending.

Cortisone Take time: The medication fights inflammation. The more you had the slower it works. Keep taking chondroitin and wait another week. Cannot have another shot for at least a month and why repeat something that didn't work. Try hyaluronic acid or PRP next time. Delay surgery. Chondroitin is slow~ 2months to work.
