cortisone shot
Anti-inflammatory needle treatment
A cortisone shot is an injection of corticosteroid medication directly into an inflamed area—typically a joint, tendon, or bursa—to reduce pain and swelling.
The relief is temporary, lasting weeks to months, and doctors limit frequency because repeated injections can weaken tissue: My knee felt better for about three months after the cortisone shot.
