If you have arthritis, you may have considered a cortisone shot as part of your treatment plan. These shots are not pain relievers. Cortisone is a type of steroid, a drug that lowers inflammation, which is something that can lead to less pain. Cortisone injections can be used to treat inflammation of small areas of the body, such as inflammation of a specific joint or tendon.
What to Expect. If your doctor has recommended cortisone injections, itâs likely for the purpose of reducing inflammation and relieving you of pain, usually in a joint. Cortisone injections are common and can be used to treat damage resulting from an injury or a disease. The shots can easily be administered in a doctorâs office and do not take long. Usually the cortisone is injected into a joint area, such as in the back, knee, hip, elbow, ankle, shoulder or wrist.
