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.
I do know quite a bit about cortisone shots from having a total of 16, but they were all for back and sciatic pain and not for my hip. The first set of three shots I had were done in a doc's office (no fluoro)-the first set helped for about 3-4 months and I was totally off the pain meds.
