Knee pain after cortisone shot

[Guest guest]

About two weeks ago I have a cortisone shot in my right knee. I

patiently waited for the pain to ease up. Well, it wasn't, I think

the pain has actually gotten worse. It's not acting like RA pain now

either. Doesn't bother me in the morning when I first get out of bed.

The pain starts when I walk any distance at all. And if I sit in a

chair with my knee bent. By the evening I have swelling on both sides

of the knee cap. I was thinking it was the soft tissues around the

knee when I got the shot, and that would help. Since then, I can feel

the pain on the ends bones. I am going for a x-ray tomorrow to check

for bone damage. Any veterans of this type of thing want to give me

any advice? I am by no way new to RA, but usually a little extra

steriod helps, and then I am on my way.

Thanks,
