@msvjv, I did get the cortisone injection this morning!
It was performed in the office by the Nurse Practioner who has been taking care of me throughout my wrist fracture recovery. In fact, I was able to get the injection scheduled in coordination to my wrist follow-up today since I'm an established patient and my PCP had written the order for the produre! That was so convenient and a benefit of a local facility.

I do admit that I was concerned about it beforehand, but the NP explained everything and answered my questions/concerns. Since my injection was going into soft tissue and not into the joint, it was performed right there in the office. I did not even need a new x-ray, since the Feb xray was available for her to view in regards to mild degeneration. She really appreciated when I presented my bone density reports to her. Inflamation due to bursitis is the suspected culprit of my pain due to the location and kind of pain, At this point, we are going to watch and observe my response and relief from bursitis inflamation.
If I ever need injection into a joint, it would need to performed as a guided injection in the medical setting.
The injection was, for me, absolutely painless. I have another appointment for wrist issues in a month, and she will also want to know about the cortisone injection.
