Yesterday, my Orthopedic surgeon gave me a 10cc shot of Cortisone in my left rotator cuff area. Of course due to having a large back/shoulders, he had to press quite hard..so the Lidocaine was wonderful! Anyway, this morning about 4am the pain in the area was horrible. My entire left shoulder area is 10 times as bad as it was before the shot. I had heard that sometimes it takes a couple days for all the Cortisone to dissapate...anyone have this problem?
