I recently had an anaesthetic, removal of 25ml of water from the knee, an injection of cortisone, followed by PRP. Done with one catheter.
I thought cortisone might be contradictory to PRP (Platelet-Rich-Plasma) as I understand that begins by creating its own inflammation whereas cortisone is anti-inflammatory. Could you kindly let me know as I have excruciating pain since those injections. Many thanks for your help.

Because of that inflammation the pain can be worse for a week or two. I suspect your dr was trying to avoid some of it for you.
