Thinking of getting a cortisone injection? Here are a few things to consider:

If you experience soreness after your injection and are able to take anti-inflammatory medications, you may try:

• Aleve® – 2 tablets twice daily
• Tylenol® 500 mg – 1 to 2 tablets every 4–6 hours as needed
• Ibuprofen (Advil®) – up to 3 tablets, 3 times daily as needed
• Apply ice to the injection area in 30-minute intervals

Please note that cortisone injections may take up to one week to provide full relief. Injections can typically be repeated every 3-4 months if needed.

If you are considering an injection or have questions about whether one may be right for you, call us today to schedule an appointment. 💉🦵
