Today I had a cortisone injection. 3ccs of something I have no idea how to pronounce or spell. So far I have some relief but I don't know if it is from the cortizone shot or from the lidocaine they numbed me with. If anyone else has been through this please post and let me know how you made out.

Has anyone else had a similar problem? I can barely use my left arm. I cant reach at all with my left arm. It feels like a red hot nail going into my shoulder.
