Q: How often do doctors give cortisone injections to a patient? A: We try to limit the injection to one every three months for any single joint, but also we like to limit it to a total of six injections a year for the whole body. We know that the cortisone can sometimes weaken or suppress the immune system and, in diabetics, it raises blood sugar.
By injecting the cortisone into a particular area of inflammation, very high concentrations of the medication can be given while keeping potential side-effects to a minimum. Cortisone injections usually work within a few days, and the effects can last up to several weeks. In addition to injected cortisone, many physicians will mix the cortisone with another medication that may provide pain relief effects.
