Numbness after cortisone injections normal?

I have had them in my shoulder and I don’t recall it being numb that long.I’d call the doc and ask.

that may not work at 11 at night… lol

Numbness is normal after injections I wouldn’t worry about it.

Local anesthetics clear at different rates for different people. My shoulder would be numb for several days after the local was used to pull out shrapnel, The surgeon explained that it depends on how well vascularized the area is. Best check with your doctor though.

It’ll wear off eventually.
