I too had cortisone injections from 2000 and on. Shots used to last about 6 months, now fast forward and every year the “pain free “ time lessens every year.
Now an injection might last 3 weeks, but the week after the injection has me in bed with ice for 4-7 days.
So that equates to about 2 weeks of moderate relief.
I no longer take the injections, not really worth the time or money.
Good luck and do what is best for you.😎🙋💝
