Hi,
I posted here a couple of days ago about a recurring knee problem after 2 athroscopies for cartillage problems. I have been having physio but its made my knee worse than before. I went back to the doctors today and he's offered a cortisone injection and I have agreed but now I am panicking. I have only ever had one cortisone injection before in my hand and was in agony for about 24 hours after. Has anyone had cortisone in the knee and can they let me know what to expect? Thanks :-)

before I had my TKR I had a few cortizone injections until the knee got so bad that they didn't work anymore.
I never suffered any pain from them
so if I was you I'd say go ahead.
take care

I wouldn't be certain about this but I think they can only give you so many
you have to be a doctor or a nurse to know for certain

When you say weaken it, do you mean, like your knee feels like it wants to give out when you're just walking normally? I have had 2, and the original pain is gone, but it tries to give out on me. Is that what you mean by weaken it?
