I had an adverse reaction to a synvisc shot to my left knee. or, (a flare-up). How long will this condition last? I am in severe pain and i can t walk. I waited far too long to get the shot in my right knee. I need the antidote, whatever that may be. It s been 4 days since i had the shots

Hello,
Thank you for trusting HealthcareMagic for your health concern

Inflammation needs to subside for cortisone shots to show its effects. This can take anywhere from 5 days to few weeks. Meanwhile, you can take Ibuprofen 600 mg 4 times daily for pain relief.
