Knee cortisone shots can cause some discomfort during and after the injection, often described as a brief sharp pain or pressure. The level of pain varies from person to person, depending on individual pain tolerance and the specific technique used by the healthcare provider. Many patients find that any initial discomfort is outweighed by the relief from inflammation and pain that follows. After the injection, some mild soreness may occur, but this typically subsides within a few days.

Can knee replacement get a cortisone shot?
I have often heard about cortisone injections as an alternative to knee replacement but it is un heard of to have injection after the knee replacement. What is the logic behind it? Usually injections are taken to subside the pain that arise from contact of arthritic articular surfaces of knee bones. But when knee replacement is already done I do not see a reason for cortisone injection. At the same time if there is sudden severe pain in your knee after replacement surgery doctor might give you a shot of knee injection. Another possibility is if you have partial knee replacement and non operated compartment of your knee joint troubling you. Hope it helps.
