	The Truth About Cortisone Shots
		Cortisone by itself is rarely used today as it is relatively short acting and of low potency.
		Cortisone is useful in suppressing inflammation in the short term, and in the long term, dissolving scar tissue, stabilizing the body's defenses, speeding the healing process, and is very effective in causing certain cysts to disappear.
		There is a limit to the amount of cortisone given in one dose, even if injected in several areas of the body; this varies depending on the size and physical condition of the person.

	Wonder drug: cortisone
		Cortisone is a type of steroid produced naturally by your adrenal gland and released when your body is stressed.
		Probably the most common is a “cortisone flare,” a condition where the injected cortisone crystallizes and can cause a period of pain worse than before the shot.
		Beware: prolonged use of cortisone, especially when ingested orally, can have side effects ranging from inconsequential to horrific and must be carefully monitored by a physician specializing in internal medicine.

	Bodybuilding.com - Marc David - Uncensored Secrets Podcast: What Are Cortisone Shots?
		Cortisone is a naturally-occuring steroid in your body that's produced by the adrenal gland.
		Cortisone can be taken with other pain medications to work best with limited side effects.
		Synthetic cortisone shots are designed to work directly on the affected area within minutes for a period of weeks.

		Cortisone injections, also known as cortisol or corticosteroid injections, are very effective at reducing pain associated with inflammation.
		Cortisone should be used to reduce the pain and inflammation for a time.
		Cortisone's ability to reduce pain and inflammation is both a blessing and a potential curse.

	Cortisone definition - Arthritis and arthritic conditions, medications, and treatment on MedicineNet.com
		Cortisone: An adrenocorticoid hormone, a naturally occurring hormone made by and secreted by the adrenal cortex, the outer part (the cortex) of the adrenal gland.
		Cortisone was the first of the "miracle drugs" for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.
		Synthetic cortisone acts after it is converted by the body (metabolized) to cortisol to exert its powerful antiinflammatory (and other) effects.

	Cortisone shots: Relieve joint pain at the source - MayoClinic.com
		If your pain is mostly in one particular spot, such as in a joint or a trigger point in a specific muscle, your doctor may suggest injecting medication right into the site of your pain.
		Joint injections are usually a combination of a local anesthetic, or numbing agent, which provides immediate relief, and a corticosteroid, such as cortisone.
		Cortisone shots into joints or trigger points can provide pain relief for months at a time.

	Cortisone Tablets
		In the management of rheumatoid arthritis, prednisone (cortisone tablets) can provide interim control of inflammation while waiting for one of the slower-acting disease-modifying agents (usually gold therapy, methotrexate or anti-malarials) to take effect.
		After about three months of prednisone therapy, the adrenal glands begin to secrete less and less cortisone of their own, because the supplemental doses remove the need for more to be produced naturally by the body.
		Instead, if your doctor decides reducing or stopping is appropriate, he or she will gradually reduce the daily dose to allow your adrenal glands to start producing its own cortisone again.

	Osteoarthritis: Cortisone Injections And Their Alternatives
		Cortisone, a hormone naturally produced by the body, can be effective in relieving the inflammation and pain of osteoarthritis -- for several weeks or even months at a time -- when injected at higher-than-natural levels directly into the problem location.
		But ironically, using corticosteroids (cortisone or synthetic relatives such as prednisone or dexamethasone) is not even the option of choice in most cases.
		Even in more serious cases, when frequent cortisone injections appear to be the only way of relieving the pain, doctors might reasonably question whether orthopedic referral for corrective surgery might be a better option, assuming that the patient's overall health would allow it.

	Medical Steroid's Baffling Connection To Osteoporosis Becomes Clearer
		Cortisone is a steroid produced naturally by the adrenal gland and synthesized by a number of pharmaceutical companies for clinical use.
		In lab animal experiments, researchers found cortisone caused bone-building osteoblast cells to self-destruct, suggesting that cortisone disrupts the body's ability to form new bone after it is naturally dismantled by osteoclasts.
		When researchers gave cortisone to these mice, the bone-weakening effects of the drugs were blocked.
