Cortisone shots are injections that may help relieve pain and inflammation in a specific area of your body. They're most commonly injected into joints â such as your ankle, elbow, hip, knee, shoulder, spine and wrist. Even the small joints in your hands and feet might benefit from cortisone shots.
This is due to the cortisone crystallizing. The cortisone flare usually only lasts a day or two after the shot is administered and can be treated by icing the area of the shot. It is also common for the area around the shot to whiten in appearance. More serious side effects are rare, but do occasionally occur.
