Cortisone shot following ankle debridement
I was diagnosed with synovial impingement of the ankle and had ankle debridement surgery about 4.5 months ago. I am continuing to experience pain 4.5 months out, so my doctor wants to try a cortisone shot.
Prior to my surgery I received a cortisone shot that hurt tremendously, which was the reason I ultimately decided to get the surgery. Because I am still in a lot of pain, my doctor wants to attempt a cortisone shot again. I'm apprehensive bc of the pain I experienced with the cortisone shot that I received prior to my surgery.
Has anyone experienced pain pre-op following a cortisone shot and then received another cortisone shot post-op. If so, I was wondering how the post-op cortisone shot went and whether you recommend for me to get one at my next follow up.
Any help would be very much appreciated!
