Hi @Shaz51

I have had cortisone injections into my shoulder joint to treat a frozen shoulder, some years back now.

It should be noted that cortisone injections are not a pain killer as such. What it does is to reduce inflamation. And that in turn, decreases the pain.

But in my personal experience the injections do have a fairly quick effect. My recollection was considerable relief by the next day.

But this would depend on what is being treated, and the individual's personal anti inflamatory response.

thank you @Emelia8

having my fingers crossed that it works for my mum, but not sue about it

@Shaz51, Hubby had a course of three cortisone injections for an injured shoulder. It wasn't an instant fix, but it sort of prompted his body to kick into healing mode. Not a complete recovery, but better than it was previously. The injections themselves weren't painful.

Hi @Shaz51 I have had Cortisone injections in my Knee (for Bursitis).

I've had Cortisone injections in my Left Shoulder, for Bursitis.

Pain did not reduce immediately - but started to feel less painful, a few days later.

The pain in my left Shoulder (Bursitis) 2 & 1/2 years ago was Severe.

I could not sleep any night, for several weeks - Which caused Sleep Deprivation, & caused other problems.

Sometimes a Cortisone injection is not enough - Several Cortisone injection are sometimes needed, over a few weeks or months.

For my Knee, they 1st had to Syringe out all the Fluid (before Cortisone injecton) - As there was a huge bag of fluid (the size of a Baseball) on my knee.

I hope this helps your Mum.

It's good that your Mum has more movement in her arm @Shaz51 After her Cortisone injection.

I'm sorry that you are so achy & sore, in pain at night.

My neck is still very sore, so is my shoulder - I don't know what's wrong.

You had a nice picture of Smokey in his owner's bedroom, that sounds nice.

Like your Mr Shaz - I am finding everything so hard too.

Sounds like that gets you down - it sounds like you are supporting everyone else (around you) - That's a heavy burden.

No-one knows about me finding everything hard, as I have no-one here with me - Oh yes I have my new Goldfinches, & Jelly Cat & all my Birds (for company).

Hugs (((( Shaz))))
