A member asked:
Do i ice or heat for bursitis in right hip had a cortisone shot 2 days ago..not better yet?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Do what feels best: The corticosteroid shot you had is a long acting but slow release medication-after 2 days we typically expect the medication is just beginning to take effect and it may take a week to really kick in. If you don't feel any improvement at 2 weeks, you should talk to your doctor about other options. Pt or home stretching and strengthening may help. Good luck!
