What is the effect of cortisone in relieving pain?

Cortisone injections are typically used to relieve pain caused by inflammation. They are usually recommended for localized pain that has not responded well to other types of pain relief methods. Cortisone injections involve low doses of medication and can help reduce the risk of side effects compared to taking cortisone orally. It is important to note that cortisone injections only provide temporary relief and may need to be repeated. If other pain relief options have been exhausted or if you experience intolerable side effects from other medications, cortisone injections may be worth considering if recommended by a healthcare provider. If they prove to be effective in relieving your pain, they can be repeated as needed. If they do not provide much relief, they can be discontinued.
