Shoulder Saga Update-Week 12

Saw the sports medicine doctor again today. I'm not progressing quickly as either one of us would like, so we decided to try shooting me up with cortisone to give me pain relief while I continue with physical therapy. Along with the cortisone, he threw in a substance that had a similar, but immediate and short-term effect so that he could test whether the cortisone would actually work. As a result, I have had 90 minutes of shoulder-pain free bliss. It should wear off in an hour or two and the cortisone should kick in in about 48-72 hours. Ahhhhhh.......
