Does anyone know wether cortisone acts locally or enters into blood circulation? How many are safe? (e.g. 3 per year, 1 per month. etc). Are there any serious side-effects?

Answer:

It is a steroid usually released through your adrenal gland into the blood stream. The frequency will be discussed by you and your doctor. Some do like to limit the number of shots to only 3. I had them once a week for a month before I scheduled surgery to correct a torn rotator cuff. Side effects may include "cortisone flare" which is pain at the injection site which may last a couple of days.
