A member asked:
Had a cortisone shot in knee 4 weeks ago. it did not work as i had a flare.got a 2nd shot a few days ago. how likely is the 2nd one to work?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
God knows: Only God knows if that 2nd shot did not work. If the shot was given IN the joint, the problem may not be in the joint itself. For knee joint problems, the 1st injection usually has some positive effect.
