If a deadline for applications was provided you can follow up in about 3-5 business days after the deadline - just asking about the time line. If no deadline was given then contact them in about 5-7 days after you send the application. I typically recommend that people follow up a week after their submittal.
Cortisone shots are injections that work by relieving pain and inflammation. When considering them as a treatment, be aware of the side effects of cortisone shots. Thatâs because âthereâs some concern that repeated use of cortisone shots may cause deterioration of the cartilage within a joint. For this reason, doctors typically limit the number of cortisone shots into a joint,â Mayo says. Possible side effects of cortisone shots include: -Death of nearby bone.
Increased pain after the injection is typically due to a postinjection flare as a true allergic reaction to cortisone is very rare. Tendons can be weakened by corticosteroid injections in or near tendons. Tendon ruptures as a result have been reported. Facial flushing may occur in up to 40% of cases but lasts only briefly. Sweating and insomnia are uncommon. In people who have diabetes, cortisone injections can elevate the blood sugar. In patients with underlying infections, cortisone injections can suppress somewhat the body's ability to fight the infection and possibly worsen the infection or may mask the infection by suppressing the symptoms and signs of inflammation.
