Influenza.: Were you tested for COVID 19? Were the steroid injections done for a specific shoulder problem? I don't know why steroid injections would be given for uncomplicated influenza. If your symptoms have resolved well, it is likely this will be fine. I am sorry but I don't understand the situation very clearly, so it is difficult to make definitive comments.
