A cortisone injection is a shot into a specific painful area with an anti-imflammatory medication. Cortisone decreases the inflammation so that the pain will be resolved. There are many ways to use cortisone, ie spinal epidurals for back and associated pains, intramuscularly or subdermally for allergic reactions such as hives. If the dr. is wanting to put it in your rotator cuff, is this a quick, temporary fix? Or do you really need restorative surgery?

Cortisone is a steroid hormone given IV. An IV needle is inserted into your arm and Cortisone is introduced into your blood stream. Cortisone can be given for Shoulder Bursitis, Arthritis, Tennis Elbow, or Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, among others.

Cortisone is a hormone used by physicians to treat conditions where inflammation or allergies are a problem.
It is often injected into injured joints to relieve swelling and edema and pain. It can be taken by mouth, injected, or applied topically.
