2BNTV - Cortisone is a medication that reduces inflammation. If the cause of the inflammation is temporary, then cortisone may be enough to eliminate the discomfort. But, if the cause is persistent or chronic, then cortisone will provide temporary relief only. Ultimately, the cause of the inflammation needs to be addressed for complete relief.
