Cortisone is used to decrease inflammation. If it is truly a sprain you probably won't be able to find a doctor that will inject one. Some sprains take longer to heal than actual breaks. If you are really taking care of it (staying off of it, elevating it when not in use and NOT playing soccer) and it has not gotten any better after 6 weeks you need to see a doctor.

I would certainly have it looked at.
A sprain should be long healed by now. Otherwise, cortisone will reduce inflamation.

Baby, it's probably broken. A sprain heals in a couple of days. Go get an xray. If you have insurance, xrays are free (after co-pay).

cortisone only reduces the inflamation, it will not correct an injury. You need an xray to see if it is fractured or dislocated, etc.
