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.
1 Corticosteroids are powerful anti-inflammatory medications. 2  Cortisone injections can offer fast-acting relief of inflamed muscles, joints, tendons, and bursa.  Complications are rare but may include infection and bleeding.
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.
