Guest guest Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 How does the cortizone shot work? Does it just work in the area into which it's shot or does it affect the whole body? I think I really need one. This pain in my right knee has been the worst I've ever experienced with RA. I did wake in the middle of the night in sever, extreme, 10 on a scale of 1 to 10 pain. I couldn't even walk on it at all. Now I can stand on it with very little pressure, but any movement from side to side is excruciating. One of my fears about the shot is that I know it'll fade in the next day, but my left knee is next. That tends to be how mine works (first one side, then another a couple of days later). I just feel so helpless. > > , > Can you get a cortisone shot while your pregnant. Those have always done wonders for me.
