Cortisone tends to be painful for a couple of days. Don't overdue the PT once the shot starts kicking in.

Cortisone might make you feel sick for awhile as well. I had my last shot it July to try and put down Bursitis/Tendonitis that formed in my shoulder a year after surgery.

It would be fine while I was doing something (playing golf, working in the yard, whatever) and then the next day I would be in agony.

I had bone spurs that were cutting into my labrum in both shoulders. They were both scoped 3 months apart two winters ago.

Recovery from the procedures was easy enough, about a month to get my range of motion back, maybe another to get the strength back. I know by the time the scheduled PT was supposed to start I had 100% motion from doing the stretching on my own.
