Will Cortisone Injections Into Neck Joint Help With Dystonia And Shoulder Pain?
Question: Will cortisone injections into neck joint help with distonia and ongoing shoulder pain?
Brief Answer:
Cortisone would help with pain
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Cortisone injections would help reduce the pain in neck and shoulder. However, the dystonia may not reduce. On the other hand, Botox injections are more likely to help with neck dystonia.
I hope it helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries.
