Hi
Thanks for your query
I'm Dr Sudhir Kumar
I have gone through your query and understand your concern.These symptoms except pain is shoulder is unlikely to be related to cortisone shot in the shoulder. These symptoms are neurological so you can consult neurologist for these. Mecobalamin is helpful in neurological conditions. Sometimes for 2-3 days pain can occur after cortisone shot. For pain relief you can take analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief for nearly 3 days
Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then I will be happy to help you.
Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
