Hi Zimbo (like that name),
Welcome to the HW forum!
I know that it's a corticosteroid like prednisone. Never heard of it used for pain. What is going on with your shoulder? Have you had x rays or MRI or cortisone injection? When I have had shoulder issues (I've had a lot and currently have a torn rotator cuff) I get referred to my local ortho surgeon. He usually gives me cortisone injection for pain. Sometimes PT. If still problematic it's on to MRI if he suspects tendon tear. I've had both shoulders scoped twice, with bone spurs removed. Immediate pain relief and short recovery. You may want to see a specialist soon.
