Are you comparing yourself to a young HS player.

FYI, son had a cortisone shot summer of 2007 to relieve pain from tendinitous, and another one this year for same issue. They said NO more. Something about scar tissue developing which can further impeed free movement of the shoulder capsule. Might depend on what area of the shoulder the pain is coming from. As a HS player I wouldn't let my son have shot without a proper diagnosis. You have to figure out where the pain is coming from instead of covering up.
And in each case he needed to take a week off before he could throw again.
My concern was the player said he needed the shot so he could play baseball after basketball.

Great point.

The shot is only going to reduce the pain, not fix the root cause of the pain.

Why does your shoulder hurt?
