I had 3 in my right shoulder/socket over 9 months….first two were not that effective so with the third and final
they had to get the 'quite thick needle' into the ball joint socket. This was done by pushing the needle in and then lifting my arm slowly to let the needle past bone/cartlidge etc….i felt the needle scrape on my arm bone…. I din't faint, but was quite sick as he pulled the needle out….luckily into a sink.
Ive since been told cortisone is a bad thing……
