DIVISION said:The best analogy would be to compare Cortisone to Narcotics. They'll alleviate the pain, but they will create more problems than they solve.
Cortisone will destroy the joint capsule and weaken the surrounding muscle tissues, thus leaving the joint more susceptible to injury.

Absolutely correct!!!
What kind of surgery did you have? Rotator, impingement, loose capsule, torn labrum. . .
No offense, but if you just finished rehab and you still have pain, your rehab must have been cut short because of insurance or something becuase that makes absolutely ZERO sense. Go back and insist on some ultrasound treatments.
Now, that I've said that - You need to back the f*ck off and give it time to heal. You have a painful post-operative shoulder, so you decided to do pressing movement in an externally-rotated position. No offense, but that's just plain stupid - use your head.

(1) Continue strengthening the rotator cuff and lay off of exercises that cause pain. Working through a shoulder injury does not work and will only lead to more pain and more scar tissue.
(2) Get some deep tissue massages and use alternating hot/cold therapy.
(3) Find an ART practitioner in your area and get your ass in to see him pronto: www.activerelease.com
(4) GH injections may help
(5) I've read numerous articles about prolotherapy and it looks promising, but I have no experience with it.
(5) Once again, back the f*ck off and give your body time to heal.
