re: Have you had a cortisone injection into a joint before?

I had one in the bursa sack in my hip. It was a little sore afterwards, but not to where it bothered me as much as the joint pain itself. If yours is bothering you that much, I think I'd call tomorrow.

It took almost three weeks for it to work, but it did stop hurting for over a year. It's bothering me again now. I'm trying to make it until January when I have an appointment with my rheumatologist.
