How long to wait until hitting the gym after a cortisone shot?!


Question: How long to wait until hitting the gym after a cortisone shot!?
I just got a shot of cortisone (sp!?) into my knee!.
On the day of the shot (Tuesday) it was very sore and then the next day my knee felt perfectly fine!. Now it is Saturday and my knee still feels perfectly normal but is it too early to start running again or should I wait!?

P!.S!. I am very very anxious to start hitting the gym again due to the five pounds in four days I have gained since getting the shot!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
2 to 3 weeks

But, it really depends on letting the body heal and the time your body need is to accomplish that task!. With tendonitis, there is a delicate balance of decreasing inflammation and strengthening the small stabilizing muscles while allowing the inflammed areas to rest: it is a fine line to walk, and as frustrating as it is, returning to weights too soon will only delay your healing!. I would specifically talk with the PT you see and tell them that you really enjoy working out and don't want to lose progress!.

Hope this helps :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
