A member asked:
What happens after cortisone injection to both thumbs bases right and left hands for arthritis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You may experience some temporary discomfort from the injections themselves, but I've seen cortisone injections relieve arthritis symptoms of those joints for weeks or months up to a year or more.
