A member asked:
Why pain after cortizone (hydrocortisone) injection. mri says grade 2/3 sprain in both knee mcls, joint effusion, patella tilt &chrondomalica patella. result of fall.

Patella femoral : If your pain is in front/under your knee cap, then most likely chondromalacia patella. Best managed with exercise to strengthen your quads to improve tracking, and avoiding deep knee bending activities. Also oral or topical nsaids can be of benefit, as well as a brace. Injection of cortisone or hyaluronic acid also very popular. Mcl injuries can be braced & need time not cortisone injections.

Many possibilities: A cortisone injection may not take away all your pain. Have it re-evaluated.
