Hi Piper, I had an injection in November and for 48hrs afterwards it was agony. Worse than before I had the injection. It will ease eventually.

hi piper
.
was it placed posterior to anterior. my very first one felt like i had been punched.
.
was it depo-medrone. i have an emergency one at home from the doctor just in case if needed lol.
.
did it contain "lidocaine". i have evolved with these and you can request steroid with slow release anaesthetic . if not . note to one self request it.
.
as michelle .......,,(hi michelle) mentioned give it 48 hours. and you know it will ease the ache for a while. is this number two you have had now in quick succession. if so how long did the first one last.
.
looking at my operation notes he filled the joint with 80 ml. thats 80 times the standard injection. thats why i am pain free and love it.
.
try massaging around the area as well to distribute it around.
.
doing my exercises all ready. i dont know whats more painful. the operation or day time TV.

hi Colin,I'm embarrassed to say I don't know the answers to any of your questions consultant just said take your top off and sit down & he jabbed me!
I had zero relief from first steroid injection but he said the second one should work.
if not he said he will try hydrodilation I a months time.
I agree day time TV sucks!- hope you are doing as well as expected post surgery.

I did say to him I thought you could only have 2 max 3 steroid injections in a year and he kinda shrugged it off and said 3/4 is fine.He seemed surprised that my pain hadn't lessened after 1st one,I'm really hoping this 2nd one will do something for me- so sick of the 24/7 pain (as you all well know shoulder pain suckssssssssss)

ho yes it does so
.
my best ever toy i purchased for FS was an ice machine mine was an aircast IC cryo cuff.
.
end of the day load it up. turn on and sink back and relax. kills the ache instantly while it is on.
.
have a great weekend both of you
