I had one in my knee a while ago. As I recall the doctor stuck the needle in there, poked around until he found a spot that made my eyes pop out of my head, said "There it is" and injected it.
I felt better almost immediately, my doctor told me afterwards that there's a little pain killer in there that helps reduce the pain until the cortisone starts to act.
It did help my knee quite a bit but I eventually had to have it scoped anyway to take out some scar tissue.
Good luck.
