HI. I Am Having A Total Knee Replacement On Monday.

HI. I am having a total knee replacement on monday. I am going to my ortho tomorrow however because i have pain in my ankle and am wondering if its safe to get a cortisone shot right before surgery. Am i at greater risk for bleeding or anything like that?
