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.
Results of cortisone shots typically depend on the reason for the treatment. Cortisone shots commonly cause a temporary flare in pain and inflammation for up to 48 hours after the injection. After that, your pain and inflammation of the affected joint should decrease, and can last up to several months. Last updated: July 2nd, 2016.
