My mum has had a cortisone injection but into her back but not the shoulder. And yes it does work, as long as the doctor injects it in the right spot. Given what you do for work, they may recommended you have a few days off from work to get it to work properly. Otherwise it can be unsuccessful or not as effective.
Thanks for that mate
yeah mate have had it in both shoulders. Worked for me. that feeling of a Knife between the spine and shoulder blade goes away but shoulders still ache. having the needles helps me con the Mrs for a shoulder rub
Yes. And yes! I had it done with ultra sound and my shoulder hasn't been better.
Yes... I've had two some time ago... It does give relief for a while but doesn't last forever and there's the risk of the steroid crystallising in the bursa.
I am having mine done this coming Friday. I was told it will hurt. I have two tears in my shoulder but the surgeon does not want to operate, hence the injection.
Have tried a few times hasn't worked for me.
Yes....worked 2nd time in right shoulder
They do work , I have a torn shoulder muscle, had about 5 over a 10 year period, but they are not something that u can take for long periods of time , best of luck
Gotta get em often, yeah?
I had the same thing maybe 15 years ago. Fixed it and I've had no problems since and I go for a surf at least twice a week.
they do for a while but generally your Dr shoukd.inly give you a cortisone three times.
Had one for my groin, such a painful place to get one.
I had one 2 years ago and it's still fine.But they have to find the right spot.
ultrasound guided is best
