A member asked:
Cortisone shot yesterday for a shoulder separation and inflammation. today my shoulder is very sore & hurts to move. is this normal?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: The day after the shot it should hurt and within a another day if the steroid is in the right area it should start to feel better The first day lidocaine is used to numb the area so the next day is when it hurt Keep moving it and if increased pain or redness then see provider

Yes: Give the injection about 7 days before you judge how well it helped you.
