I had 2 cortisone injections in my back. 3 weeks apart. the last one was three weeks ago. 2 weeks ago, I have symptoms of moon face. I want to know if it will go away and how long will it take.

Moon facies is a symptom of high dose corticosteroid use in which the face swells up. How fast it takes your moon facies to resolve depends on the strength of the cortisone injections and if you are on any additional corticosteroids. Once off steroids it typically takes months to years for moon facies to resolve. Some tips to hasten resolution include decreasing sodium intake and sleeping with your face elevated.
