Hi all,

I got a cortisone shot in my knee yesterday. I'd be interested in hearing if you've had one, and how long it takes to kick in (or if it didn't work at all), and how long it lasted. My doc said a few days to a few weeks, but I'm interested in anecdotal experiences.

By the way, it hardly hurt at all. At about the same level as a flu shot for the numbing meds, and I didn't feel the cortisone injection at all (I felt it as pressure, not as pain). So if you have to have one in your knee, don't be scared (I was!).
