Yes, several times. It's actually a series of shots and not just one. Are they going directly into the joint or are they going to try to start with injecting into the muscle around the joint first? Basically your shoulder and arm are going to feel great immediately after the shots. Then later on that night, it's going to feel like you were hit with a sledgehammer and it's going to hurt for like a day. After that, it should feel better, as long as the shot was effective. If not, you may have to go in for another series. They don't typically put it directly in the joint because it can create issues like your joint breaking down if you have to have it done multiple times. But that's the only thing that worked for me when I had an impingement. If the last shot I got didn't work, it would have been surgery as the only option. Thankfully it took.
