Cortisone shots, or corticosteroid injections, are commonly used to reduce inflammation and ease knee discomfort caused by psoriatic arthritis (PsA). They can provide quick relief, but the duration of effectiveness can vary. Some people find significant relief, while others may experience only temporary benefits. It's important to discuss the potential benefits and side effects with your doctor. Corticosteroid injections should not be given more than once every three or four months in the same joint.

Oh wow did you get that many shots all at once ?!! I know this will be temporary I think the effects last only a few weeks ? Then what ? And if you already have damage does a cortisone shot make it worse?
Do you have chest wall pain? I’ve had that as well for the last year and I was basically just left to deal with it . Had to sleep sitting up because it hurt more laying down.

Hi, I had 12 put in my chest wall by my family Dr, and my Rheumatologist got very upset, because it causes bone lost and damage to your bones.♥️🇨🇦♥️
