...how long the needle is and how much it hurt....possible long term effects etc. Well my shoulder hurt that much anyway! So I get a recommendations from my PT, I chose the female PA. During the visit I told her I was a bit nervous about needles etc. She left and got the shot and hid it behind her. She explained where the injection site would be and that I would feel a sensation elsewhere (thank gawd she didnt say a LONG ways from where I first inject you)...and the procedure was painless! I fel a little sensation but she had me ast such ease...and her skill....made the procedure cake!

I dont know how long the cortisone effects will last. This was done end of Dec and I do feel the beginnings of impairment but nowhere what it was when I got the shot. I would do it again way before PT.


Congratulations and job well done!
