I’m feeling the need for a shot of cortisone in my left shoulder

About 7-8 year’s ago, said to have a slight tear in the labrum muscle group

Don’t know why; but I thought it would heal up by itself

Dr gave me a huge shot of cortisone then, with what looked to be a horse needle

Went straight down in the joint-as tears rolled down my face

Man that was a painful shot

After not reading the paperwork on what to do afterwards; ended up with a cortisone flare



I didn’t know I was supposed to be moving it around & held my arm as if it were in a sling

Ended up using my right hand to pick it up & pull it around

Felt like it was gonna broken off

But it finally loosened up after a couple weeks & felt brand new for 5-6years

Lately, overhead work is causing a little discomfort at times

So a phone call to the shoulder Doc is on the list
