A member asked:
Hey doc i was given a cortisone injection for my shoulder impingment but it did not work still have pain. does this help your diagnosis?

Sure: Frequently we will use injections as a diagnostic tool. If a sub acromial injection fails to relieve pain, you need to look at other locations as the source including the ball and socket joint or the ac joint.
