After injection, corticosteroids work to reduce inflammation (heat, redness, swelling, & pain) in and around the joint. As a result you should feel less pain, swelling, stiffness and warmth and be able to function a little easier.ost injections typically take 24-48 hours to take full effect. If local anesthetic was given with the steroid injection, you may feel improvement relatively quickly. The duration of improvement varies.
I have also had quite a few injections into both shoulder joints and bursa. I find that I'll get more pain for about 24 - 48 hours as a reaction to the steroid but then over about 2 weeks the pain and stiffness settle down remarkably! I haven't had one yet which didn't work for me! Eventually I was referred for an operation which has given me a virtually pain free right shoulder.
