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.
Also, the cortisone crystallizes when injected and can cause worse pain than before the shot. When this happens, it is called âcortisone flare.â In most cases this lasts one to two days, and can be treated by putting ice on the injected area. Another side effect is when the injection causes your skin to whiten.
