Steroid shot for tendinitis?

That sort of shot is uncomfortable, but the end results is not more pain in the shoulder. That you will like. The needle is rather long, the drug is pushed in slowly and the Dr. may even move the needle around a little while injecting the steroid. It is some what painful but mostly just uncomfortable. Yes it will feel warm, but that's normal as well. On the pain scale I'd rate it a 4 but an 8 on the uncomfortable scale. You'll be OK with it. I've had several in the same spot and I looked forward to it because of the end results. No more pain and I could get back to pumping some iron.
