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.
Long term: Too much cortisone over a long period of time can cause organ and tissue damage. That is why a standard course of oral cortisone only lasts a little over a week. Too many cortisone injections can cause tissue damage or tendon rupture. Again it depends upon the location of the injection.
