A member asked:
Given two cortisol shots into my right shoulder. shoulder is burning, and i have lost sensation of index and pinky finger. the shots haven't numbed.

Corticosteroid: Corticosteroid injection into the shoulder joint shouldn't cause that symptom. Carpal tunnel impingement at the wrist is more likely a reason. If symptoms persist consult a hand surgeon or a neurologist for evaluation and advice.
