Dr. Silviu Pasniciuc answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Relief: Starts sometimes at the time of the injection or in hours after and meloxicam is generally taken after a meal same time of the day, either morning or evening. Your best reference for what to expect from the injection remains your treating doc.

I understand you can get face flushing after a cortisone injection, I had one in my knee and it's my second. The first one didn't do anything. The only thing is the flushing is severe, almost swollen. What can help it go away?
