Sounds like the cortizone injections for you were like the injections she had last month. Painful and did absolutely NOTHING for her knees. Her knees are pretty swollen and as a result to the injections she had she got Baker's cists on both knees. They said if the pain did not go away they would have to be drained but the swelling behind the knees seem to be getting smaller and less painful.I'll definitely pass on your problems with cortizone injections.Thanks!
