Cortisone shots for joints
The Cortisone shots are not painful. I had 3 cortisone shots for my knee, which was bone on bone, but it did nothing. I have friends who did benefit from them, for a short time. I ended up with a total knee replacement since the pain was so bad. Now my other knee is bone on bone and the Doctor suggested a series of 5 shots (one week apart) called "Supartz". That worked and has lasted about 6 months. Supartz is marketed under several different names. There is a long thread on this website regarding this subject. I suggest you use the search button and you will find a lot of information.
