Cortisone

[dalenorth]

I’ve had a shoulder injury for 7 months now and although I’ve had several different treatments, and some movement has returned, I’m still in pain and the joint is restricted.

Physios are suggesting it’s a frozen shoulder and should now look to do an x-ray then a cortisone shot.

Has anybody had this done and can offer any advice? I need the shoulder back to how it was ideally, as I do a lot of weight training and downhill mtb so it’s doing my head in not being able to use the shoulder properly,

I had shoulder issues a while back, had two Cortisone shots over a 2 year period and had no further issues thankfully.

Next stage for me would have been surgery, as it was thought to be a bone spur digging in.

Frozen shoulder is the fuking pits, had it a couple of years ago, had a steroid injection which reduced the immediate pain somewhat, came back to a slightly lesser degree, physio had limited success, what did cure it though and by pure luck was sea swimming, took it up and my shoulder health improved beyond recognition.

Cortisone injection sorted my frozen shoulder out, that was about 5yrs ago.

Thanks guys, that’s what I wanted to hear. I’ll bite the bullet and get it booked in.
