They usually numb you before giving you a cortisone shot so it doesn't feel much more than a sting but it does sometimes depend on where they have to inject you ie: what body part.

The needle is largely a undeniable needle, basically somewhat longer. the relatively injection can harm somewhat, regardless of if this is over quickly. I used to get Cortizone knee injections each and every of the time while i replaced into youthful. Your knee could be sore for some hours/0.5 an afternoon, then it relatively is going to experience a lot greater suitable. distinctive human beings have distinctive tolerances for discomfort. I never had greater than a number of discomfort good when you have this manner of injection; regardless of if one time my mom had one, and she or he asked me what I meant via "it did no longer harm" because of the fact she replaced into in discomfort for 2 days. I call getting a cortizone shot "getting my joints oiled"

I have never had one. I have heard from others that cortizone shots are not pleasant anywhere they are given. Good luck with that!

You should read up on the evils of cortisone injections before making a decision. As far as it hurting, people have told me it does, but it doesn't last long.

Of course they hurt. Kenalog and lidocaine? Discuss everything with YOUR physician. What do I hope to gain with this injection? How long will this last? Side effects? Localized irritation? Chances of infection? Etc...

I have never had one, but the thought of sticking a needle into an already sore joint soundls VERY PAINFUL!

Only if you stiffen your knee and the needle hits your kneecap!
