    Cortizone shot

    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.

    Ask if you can relax in their office for a bit afterwards, to get your bearings.

    it's actually getting a bit better. I have to do mild exercises to keep it from getting "frozen".

    Re: Cortizone shot

    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.
