I had two cortisone shots in both shoulders and hardly felt a thing. When the needle does go deep you feel an ache but that was all. This guy is marvelous at what he does.
He said I may be looking at surgery down the road OH YAY.
I can honestly say though there is a big difference in both shoulders today, not perfect yet but manageable
Mine was one of the most painful things I have ever felt. Not the needle but the fluid. The shot helped for about 3 days. Had an mri and diagnosed with torn cartilage. Same thing that pitchers get. Surgery fixed it.
