Guided

Today was the day for the 'ultrasound guided steroid injection', which went smoothly and painlessly, apart from a couple of moments when the doctor seemed to be applying quite a large amount of pressure to my shoulder. Fairly instant noticeable improvement in pain level, and consequently in range of movement as well, and I was sent away with instructions to keep moving and exercising it, but not to excess. As the evening has worn on, so the shoulder feels a little stiffer and movement is a little harder. Hopefully that is just a combination of anaesthetic wearing off and feeling the short-term effects of the shoulder manipulation. Hopefully will continue to enjoy lack of pain, and improvements in movement from tomorrow ...
