Sprained my right shoulder a few days back (what a f'ing nightmare) and will be seeing the doc tomorrow. I'm about sure she will offer a cortizone shot somewhere. Any reason I should decline?

Don't drive yourself.
I got one a few years ago. Made me stupid for a few hours. Could barely spell my name. Yep. Cortisone.
gotta drive myself, maybe I shouldn't get it.
I don't what to tell you. Doesn't affect my GF that way soooooo, YMMV.
Ask if you can relax in their office for a bit afterwards, to get your bearings.

looks like a specialist will see me on the 23rd now.
Only 11 more days of excruciating pain left to go.

it's actually getting a bit better. I have to do mild exercises to keep it from getting "frozen".Originally Posted by KG4CGC
Please keep up the therapy. Ah, to be 12 again.
Last time I snapped my back, I went through three days of hell before going to the doc. Doc prescribed Advil (this was before Advil was OTC). Ibuprofen. Relief was almost immediate.
Here's a secret for pain (but don't sue me if it kills ya). Take two Advil and one Extra Strength Tylenol at the same time. DO NOT abuse this, but it's worth a try. I've tried this formula a couple times and it works for me and the lab says my liver still works.
Never had a cortizone shot in my life. I hear the shot itself is painful.
