At first seems to suggest cervical involvement but wondering if the injectables in the general neck area can have an effect on the scalene muscles because of their close proximity.
I had lidocaine injections but only felt relief for 30 minutes or so. Wouldn't go through it again for that. I didn't have the cortisone though, hope that helps!
