Hello,

Welcome and thanks for your query.
The frequency of safe administration of medicines vary from medicine to medicine.
For Tylenol it is not safe to take more than 1 gram every six hours.

Brief Answer:
Discussion follows

Detailed Answer:
Cortisone injection is used for its anti-inflammatory action and is not a pain killer.
There is no specific interval at which cortisone can be taken for proper indication. If the orthopedic surgeon feels that cortisone injection would help relieve your pain, there's no restriction.
