what is the shot they give for pain
The cortisone shots can be a bit painful when injected into joints and they last for around 15 minutes. Along with the cortisone shots, a numbing medication like Lidocaine or Marciane is also used to provide temporary relief. Cortisone injection also has side effects which are rare. Before cortisone injection is even used, it can cause a brief period of pain due to cortisone crystallization.
