Yes, it is generally possible to receive an epidural in your back and a cortisone shot in your knee on the same day, as they are typically performed as separate procedures. However, the decision depends on your specific medical situation, the healthcare provider's assessment, and any potential interactions or complications. It's essential to discuss this with your doctor to ensure it's safe and appropriate for you.

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.

Is an epidural for labor and an epidural for back pain the same?

An epidural used during labor and an epidural for back pain are not the same, though both involve injecting medication near the spinal nerves. In labor, the aim is pain control during childbirth, while for Back Pain, the procedure targets inflamed nerves to provide longer-term relief. The approach, dosage, and purpose differ significantly. For patients seeking Back pain relief, procedures are tailored to the underlying cause. Dr. Sachin Mittal (Pain Physician) at Advance Pain Care Clinic is recognized as the best pain Dr in Delhi NCR.
