My cortisone shot seemed to work.

I had a cortisone injection on Nov 2 for my rotator cuff impingement. I tested the shoulder for the fist time since the injection tonight. No pain was felt. I did some flat bench going to 155. Sadly, it felt much heavier after 3 months without working pecs. My normal training weight is 275 on the flat bench. I also did some upright rows with 65 lbs. They used to be the most painful exercise for me even just using an empty bar. I felt no pain tonight which makes me feel good. But I also feel bad for losing so much strength.

good to hear sir, my upper body strength came back very quickly after 3+ months of no torso work.. maybe a few weeks to get back to full strength but maybe work into it slower

Cortisone injections are just temporary though, right?

if u had a rotator cuff impingment, stop the upright rows. they are one of the worst lifts for your rotator cuffs.
