Cortisone Injections, what to expect?

Obviously a doctor and a needle, but other than that any pointers from the front line of shoulder damage land?

Dr reckons a physio may help and has referred me for tomorrow but thinks that they may wave it off so he'll be going down a more interventionist line, with the first option being the jab.

Hurt a fair bit for the first couple of days then gradually get better over a few weeks (assuming it works).  It depends exactly what's being injected, and why.
Small risk of infection, small risk of local effects (skin thinning/colour change).
Because it's a variant on a female steroid, you may find your moobs get a bit bigger, but it's usually a small price to pay.

Who dare you insinuate that I am less than utterly ripped and butch?  Anyway should I have a good  :shag: :shag: :shag:  :wank::shag: :shag: :shag: :shag: before hand in case it impairs performance?

Anyway apparently cortisone for a sub acrominial bursitis and something, something to do with fluid and a potential rupture?  I'm not sure the fella seemed more concerned with discussing who's hooking for Ireland at the weekend and that was a much more interesting subject.

If it's just a subacromial injection, see above.  Although, you'll have no trouble with moobs but your cock will shrivel up.
