I recently had a cortisone shot in my shoulder. It is now 6 weeks and I have seen no difference in the pain. When will the pain relief occur?
To be honest, you have been suckered. Cortisone shots make millions of dollars for surgeons and are done frequently.
In most cases, these injections do diddly squat. In general, after a cortisone shot you see the benefit at 2-3 weeks but many people never see any difference. Countless reports indicate that cortisone shots are useless.
If by 6 weeks you have seen no difference in your pain, the first thing I would do is dump this surgeon. Go to a doctor who has your welfare in mind and not your finances.
If you are ever recommended cortisone shots, get a second opinion, because more likely than not, it is done only for financial reasons.
