A member asked:
40mg injection depo medrol in ankle today. how long until pain/swelling from injection subsides and positive side affects/inflammation improvement?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A day or so: The swelling from the injection depends on how the injection was given and what the volume of the injected medication is. Steroid starts to work in about 6 hours but the optimal effect is not achieved until about 36-48 hours after. .
