I had one in my ankle...my doctor started with a pain killer then moved to the cortisone...it doesn't hurt nearly as bad as you think it is going to, or at least that was my feeling. I did leave permanent finger prints in the table from white knuckling it though...not from the pain, from the thought of the pain LOL....I however do have a brother who is a pharmacist, who reccomends avoiding cortisone, especially if it will have to be a continuous long term solution (ie several injections)..the long term effects are far worse than the short term gain...
