Just wondered...you know, if it is that easy then why hasn't anyone ever done it before.

Hi Mom, I'm sorry your daughters is in a flare. I've had RSD 15 years, wasn't diagnosed for 4 years. During the 4 years, I was having pt and my ortho gave me two shots- different times. while I was having therapy for frozen shoulder. I believe it shortened the pt to get range of motion back.
I've always heard that there there never be more than 3 cortisone injections in a year. And of all the Drs. I 'v had in 15 years, this ortho was the only one to do the cortisone shot. He is the team Dr. for the Diamondbacks Baseball Team here in Arizona.
Hope this helps.You seem to have some reservations. Have you gotten a 2nd opinion ? Take care and let us know how your daughter is. Thanks, Your friend with soft hugs for you both, loretta
