I had a cortisone shot in my acromioclavicular joint yesterday. it is more painful than i started with. is it normal? acromioplasty in nov, 2016.

Not unusual: That is not terribly uncommon. The antiinflammatory component of the shot should start taking affect over the next 1-2 days and hopefully will provide some relief soon. I would let your doctor know.
