Hi

I don't know if I spelt it correctly and my mind does tend to mix things up at times, and Cortizone was mentioned as a solution to wrist problems I am having due to "Loss of cartlidge" during the same visitation with the doc.

Maybe I got it all mixed up? but I had to get three cortizone injections in my left shoulder this morning as I could not turn my head to the left due to a long-standing (and increasingly painfull) shoulder spasmism that physio is just not doing anything about.

Can anyone give me information on what Cortizone is and what it does? After the injections (and a little bit now), I was feeling very nautious with headaches. Now, my shoulder muscles (and i suppose that this is the purpose of the cortizone) is "powerless". I can lift my shoulder, but with a lot of effort and it feels like the muscles has no power. Plus, my legs are experiencing a similair effect (Feels like my legs are heavy). Does cortizone ONLY work on the point of injection or would it spread to other areas?

Maybe I heard the doctor wrong and it's some other kind of "muscle relaxant"?
