I have had cortisone shots in shoulders, wrists, and today in my thumb tendon. The last few times I have noticed that I get what appears to be some systemic benefit, so I went to the rheum’s office today very stiff in the back, hip and thumbs. After I‘ve got the thumb tendon injection, I felt much better. Anyone else experience anything like this from cortisone shots?

When I get the cortisone shots into the knee joints the pain is so bad for 2 days in the knees, that everything else doesn't seem that bad. I asked the rheumy what is the point and he said it's like a punch in the nose...get your knees done and you forget about your elbows/hands and shoulders. It was a joke, but I hate having the joints done and I can't move them fro like a week after the shot.

How many times can cortisone shots be given in the same area before they lose their effectiveness?
