I had a shot in each knee last spring. My doctor told me to take it easy for the rest of the day, but he didn't say anything about keeping me knees or legs in any certain position.

Not my knees but shoulder - no special instructions other than to take it easy.

Just take it easy. Don't worry about knee position.

What is the purpose of these injections? Is this a permanent fix or a temporary relief?

I've had them twice in both my shoulders I believe. Only get them if I absolutely have to. One shoulder got so bad I would go months in pain and not be able to move my shoulder or sleep for a week at a time. Doctor told me I needed surgery but then wouldn't do it because it was a workman's comp/on the job injury. I finally asked him for a shot and the pain was gone for years.

Cortisone injections had a side affect of altering (dulling) my sense of taste. But they do temporarily reduce knee pain.

Isn't this what pro athletes get, shot of steroids in the offending appendage and then they're good to go? Too often is probably a problem? I'm no doctor, but doesn't seem like you'd need to take any special care to take it easy.
On second thought, maybe follow the advice of your doctor. |

I had them for a couple years before just breaking down and getting surgery. I was always just told nothing vigorous for a day or two and to then go about my normal business.

Just go about your daily routine, unless your daily routine is cutting down trees all day and hauling lumber.

I've had them in shoulders. Neck once cervical spinal prob. The crap relieves the pain for weeks, but also makes me feel 20 years younger, 10 foot tall and bulletproof. I tend ot start working on the property like a young man again, and invariably re-injure myself, or sometimes a new problem will crop up for the overactivity. Also need less sleep, and notice some appetite suppression. I'm avoiding them now.

My experiences as well, except more like "normal activity right away including all the pre-existing knee pain" A total waste of time and co-pays. And yes same result with lower back injections. No improvement. Advil is my old friend. |

So how are your knees feeling after the shots? I had some relief for about a week and then the pain started again. My doctor then gave me a prescription for diclofenac, which is an NSAID. It works better than Advil or Aleve, but I'm still having problems. The doctor told me that if the diclofenac does not work I will have to see an orthopedic doc. I have a regular appointment next week and I am going to ask for a referral. It's time to find the actual problem. I hope you're feeling better.

No improvement. Advil is my old friend. I had shots of cortisone in each heel for Plantar Fasciitis. No kinda fun. First time, I felt like I had new feet for a month. After that, I started hurting again. Second time, it lasted all of a week. I could see how that was going to work out. I didn't go back. When the pain resumed, it was the worst I ever had with PF. Never will do a cortisone shot again. |

I've had a few family members get knee replacement. Their only regret was not getting the replacements sooner. For what it's worth, the people I know that got replacements are in general good health and not obese. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |
