Cortisone injections suck!
Yep I have to say it. I was still having trouble with my left shoulder so I went to my Orthopedic surgeon for a checkup. Nothing major but some serious inflamation on my rotator cuff. The flu shot in that same arm didnt help things either! Anyway, got a big dose of the snake oil. Damn that stuff hurts! Got the shot monday & its thurs & I am finally moving my arm again. Just been a light weight/cardio week. Oh well. At least the swelling is gone.

After a contizone shot you should rest completely for 10 days or more.. Let the inflamation receed before lifting at all. I have had many many many C shots, and I give this advice as my opinion to my own experience only…Good Luck!

I’ve had quite a few in my shoulders too. I was doing really light stuff. Stretching & Flexibility more than anything. Keep the joint moving.
