Answers:
You are not able to feel much yet. You should start finally feeling it within 24-48 hours. Cortisone shots do not take effect immediatelyHealth Question & Answer

4 hours i think, for foot/small joint injuries, as far as I know.

Please tell me it's just for pain and recuperation. Don't play/train on it, please. You're exposing yourself to a million problems down the line.

Look at Jonny Wilkinson in rugby union. Filled with cortisone in 2003, played well below his potential, ok fair enough the team won the World Cup, but he's been injury-free for about 2 months in the subsequent 5 years. Dislocated shoulders, knee ligaments, broken fingers. It's not just horrendously bad luck: it's poison.Health Question & Answer

Should be within a few minutes really. If you had one a few hours ago, I would concentrate on getting the next one, coz its either not working, or worn off!Health Question & Answer
