I would avoid cortisone at all costs. It's a short-term fix to a long-term problem. Cortisone works by breaking down inflamed tissue in a joint, or wherever there's a problem. It doesn't mean that the problem causing the inflamation is solved. More than likely, it will be worse later. More important is to figure out what is causing the inflamation in the first place. Especially for a weightlifter, joint inflamation commonly occurs. See a good sports med doctor and/or a physical therapist. It's a much better solution over any cortisone shot. ------------------  | ||

Cortisone will eat your muscle faster than you can believe. | ||

my friend had to take cortizone for his head injury. his strength dropped to where it was about 2 years ago. all in a 3 week span. took him 3 months to get it back. not a bodybuilding drug by any means. | ||

Exactly what the bro's above said. Also, cortisone will only make it feel good and work as long as you don't do what hurt it in the first place. Shortly after you start doing what it was that caused the injury, (in this case lifting weights), the pain will come back and most likely be worse. I had a freind who had them.

I had a cortizone shot in my forarm for a bicept tendon injury. The pain would not go away, keeping me from curls and such. The day of the shot, my arm stung and ached so bad I need vicodin Extra Strength (call me a woos,dont care). The next day, my forearm was red and inflamed, and the next two days turn black and blue all over my forearm. Not sure if it was a reaction to being on juice or the shot doing something else. All I know is that now, I can do my curls. It did help and is still working 4 weeks later. To each his own. good luck. I would do it if it REALLY bothers you. Picture of my forearm the day after the shot. | ||
