1. Your immune system is compromised prior to the injection

2. Prior to the needle being given, there is no sterilization practiced

3. To many unwarranted injections have been given which inevitably only result

in weakened tendons and softening of cartilage

What does cortisone do if injected in the knee?

When injected into the knee, cortisone acts as a powerful anti-inflammatory medication that helps reduce pain and swelling in conditions like arthritis or tendonitis. It works by suppressing the immune response and decreasing inflammation in the joint, providing relief and improving mobility. The effects can vary, but many patients experience significant pain relief for a period of time, although repeated injections may have diminishing returns or potential side effects.
