Hello Dear,
Thanx for showing interest in HCM.
Steroid injection was given to you to control your inflamation on shoulder region. You need to repeat your injection. I would advice you should consult your doctor as soon as possible for complete evaluation of your symptoms.As these symptoms are related with your health problem, not are the side effects of steroid injection.
I do hope that you found the answer helpful. Best wishes.
