Let's see...I've had cortisone shots in my elbow, shoulder, and heel, and ALL were for inflammation. Pain relief is achieved by the cortisone reducing the inflammation. If your arthritis pain is due to joint lining inflammation, then cortisone could likely help temporarily. If the pain is due to bone-on-bone contact, I don't see how it would help.<br><br>
Many of us geezers swear by glucosamine to help with arthritis. I've been taking it for about two years, and my knees are about the only healthy part on my legs. Not sure if glucosamine is the reason, but I must be doing something right to keep them working.
