I think a cortizone shot is just a band-aid. I've heard bad things about people thinking they are cured since the pain is less and injuring themselves more. If I have an impinged rotator cuff muscle or tendon, will the cortizone shot actually do anything or would ultrasound and physical therapy be better. Right now I can still swim, but with pain at start.
