Would a cortisone shot help my elbows? I have had golfer's elbow (tendinidous) in one of them for over a year.

It could help. It sure is worth the pain. You may get relief right
away. Tell your doctor. I've had shots in my elbows for
rheumatoid arthritus. They work!! I could finally move my elbow
again. good luck

Read about the risk of taking steroids, which cortisone is, and ask your doctor if the benefits outweigh the risks in your situation.
