Cortisone injections

If you get this for any health reasons, do you receive them from your primary doctors ?

I guess depends what you need them for, but I believe always a specialist for whatever the problem is.

I've only ever gotten them in my wrist from my Orthopedic doc, (after I saw my PCP first for the issue...not saying you have to see pcp first, not sure on that...but it just happened that way for me.)

My mom used to get them for her knee...also from her orthopedic doc.

@goldensrbest I just received a large joint injection at a walkin in ortho clinic in my hip. I do not have a primary doctor anymore as my physician has passed away.

I guess it depends on the reason for the injection, and if you have any underlying issues that would prevent you having cortisone, my thoughts are that my primary care physician has my complete history and watch for interactions.

The only cortisone injection I have received was for an elbow injury. It was administered by an orthopedic surgeon.

Ive received injections from. my Rheumatologist, Orthopedist and Pain Management Docs. Depends on problem.

From a pain management clinic - doctors and/or physicians assistants who are trained and qualified to (by doctors) administer these injections. In- Office works for me. I've been getting them for years for Back & Neck injuries. I like to use someone who can adjust down the level of steroids/cortisone to reduce the side effects.

I've had this shot done by both my PCP and a specialist (shoulder).

i get cortisone injections in my right knee. I have osteoarthritis. My PCP gave me the injections two or three times. We'd agreed on every three months but then it became difficult to get the appointment with her. Hubby is an RN and he told me to just go through orthopedics. When I called Ortho for an appointment because I was in pain, I had not had an injection in six months, I got an appointment for the next week. They did an x-ray and a nurse practitioner gave me the injection. I get my injection every four months now.

Injections from either the orthopedist or the Physical Medicine specialist.
