Cortisone Injection
27 Answers
Afternoon All,
I am going to have a cortisone injection in to my hip under LA in a few weeks time. Has anyone had this or a similar procedure (another part of the body or something), and if so, how did you feel afterwards and did you feel anything at the time of injection? The only stuff I've had done under an LA I guess would be dentistry stuff so not sure what to expect.
Ta muchly :c)

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.i had one in my knee with local - it was ok, just the thought of it more than anything else. I also had a needle biopsy of my hip under fluoroscopy (i think that was it) nothing was injected but again the thought of it made me shudder, so i took a big glug of oramorph prior to it, mainly for my nerves. It was ok.
I've had them a number of times in my shoulder without LA and sometimes you feel it and others you don't. On most occasions it was sore the following few days but then it has been fine. Had a few of them done with a scan and you can see it going in to where they want to put the stuff if you want. No where as bad as going to the dentist China Doll.
i had a cortisone injection into the bursar near/around my hip with no anaesthetic and it didn't hurt a bit. during the evening after the injection my leg started aching and continued for about 12 hours. it didn't solve the problem though.
i also had a cortisone injection right into the hip joint under general anaesthetic as part of the diagnostic investigations. obviously i was asleep so felt nothing, and it didn't hurt at all afterwards either. again, it didn't solve the problem.

I had one in my bum for general inflammation (not actually for my bum, that's big enough as it is!) when my arthritis had gone a bit crazy. I was bracing myself but didn't even feel it! Maybe having a "generous" rear end helped though!
It took a few days to kick in and I get a strange stinging like sensation where I think it was tackling the inflammation then it was great for a couple of days then wore off...gutted! Nice while it lasted though :)
I'm guessing different for me though as it wasn't directly injected into a joint which I'm guessing hurts a lot more! The rhumatology bloods nurses said the nurse who jabbed me has a special knack of doing it though.
The jabs they kept putting in my tummy (anti DVT or something) when I was in hospital last week stung more!
