I’ve had shot in shoulders, knees, feet, hands and lower back! I’ve had surgery in all except back and I will continue with the shots as it last me almost a year.

I have had cortisone injections in my right shoulder in january its helped a great deal although its just starting to wear off i have had injections in in my left shoulder that haven't worked so since i no longer have any use of my left arm which im left handed im having surgery in june, i have to wait 3 months since my injection. My pain is 24/7 now its real bad, he says once he does the surgery which im Having a complete shoulder reversal since he says repairing the tears wont work but ill be able to have full use again & be pain free, he saysi wont be able to use it for 2 weeks then after yhat ill gradually get it back , a 3 month recovery period although ny pcp says that for a normal person & im not normal im like thanks lol ,

Don’t know if this helps or not, but anytime I have had a Cortisone injection for my knees, it always help with arthritis in other parts of my body, at least for a few days.

I have had multiple cortisone injections in my shoulders for osteoarthritis and in my left shoulder for torn rotator cuff. Also in both hips I refuse to go and have surgery on my shoulder. That's 7 weeks or more that I can't use it at all, I just don't have that time away from work. For me, cortisone injections really help.

I have bilateral plantar facisitis and bursitis and the foot doctor gave me steroid shots and it lasted me for 10 years. It was painful at the time but after the pain went away there was blessed relief.
