| Cortisone is a steroid that is produced naturally in the body. Synthetically-produced cortisone can also be injected into soft tissues and joints to help decrease inflammation. While cortisone is not a pain reliever, pain may diminish as a result of reduced inflammation. Cortisone injections are commonly used as a treatment for chronic conditions such as bursitis, tendinitis, and arthritis. |
