Reply to "cortisone shot"

quote:
Tendonitis and bursitis in the shoulder can be instigated by sometimes very minute problems or situational movements. Once they take hold however, are troublesome and very time consuming to get to abate. Cortisone can and does help speed the healing process by reducing the inflammation more rapidly than nearly any other form of treatment.


I agree, I had a frozen shoulder after having untreated tendonitis for years (probably from all the swimming) anyway frozen shoulder is more painful than childbirth and I am not even trying to be funny. I could not even lift my arm from my side. Had to get a shot, then the PT could get in there and start working on the issues causing it.
Shot made it a lot better but still needed rehab.
But, if it were my son I would want to make sure nothing was ripped or torn before a shot. If it is just tendonitis a shot could help recovery , but still need to find root cause of why its getting so inflamed.
