Cortisone shots used to be some of the most common treatments in orthopedic surgery offices. Their use has declined somewhat, but many orthopedic surgeons still use them for a number of bone and joint conditions.

Please note: I don't respond to questions and requests for specific medical advice left in the comments to my videos. I receive too many to keep up (several hundred per week), and legally I can't offer specific medical advice to people who aren't my patients (see below). If you want to ask a question about a specific injury you have, leave it in the comments below, and I might answer it in an upcoming Ask Dr. Geier video.

In this Ask Dr. Geier video, I explain when a cortisone shot might help a patient – and when it might not.

Shelby asks:
I have had 3 cortisone shots in my shoulder due to anterior shoulder pain that was caused from my biceps tendon being irritated. Unfortunately none of them worked in reducing my symptoms. I recently just had a cortisone injection for medial knee pain, and that one also did not work. It actually made the pain worse for a couple days. Is it possible that my body doesn’t react to cortisone?

Cortisone is a steroid that acts as an anti-inflammatory medication. It can help to decrease pain and swelling in a joint. It can be helpful for some problems but not others.

In this video, I explain what a patient could ask the doctor if a cortisone shot fails to offer much relief.
