I have rotator cuff issues and I have been receiving cortisone shots every three months now for well over a year. I have recently developed some painfull issues with my upper arm muscles. I guess my question to you is, do repeated shots hurt the body, and if so, in what way. The shot I have had have inded helped with my pain and mobility. Your thoughts? Debbie
