    The pain of the cortisone injection into my shoulder was unbearable. I passed out. The only people in the room for the procedure was the Dr, his student and myself. When I told them I needed a wet cloth and I was getting very hot, they did nothing to help me but continued with the procedure. The Dr was describing, triangulating the cortisone/steroid around the area of the tendon when I realized I was going to pass out and they still hadn't responded to my request for a wet cloth that I felt like could get me thru the procedure. The last thing I remember was the student Dr asking me, are you still with us? After that I came around on the exam table with an older gentleman there with a cup of water for me. No nurse was present during the procedure. This didn't seem very professional to me as a nurse monitoring the patient could have made a difference in my getting the entire vial of medicine in my shoulder rather than half. The referred pain around the injection area is still noticeable 3 days later.

    I was not told I would need X-rays prior to seeing provider. I waited on X-ray for at least 45 minutes. I know the schedulers don't know if a patient needs X-ray but the clinic should call and let patients know so they can plan accordingly. I work for UK Healthcare and had only taken 2 hours off from work and I was actually gone just over 3 hours. Had I known I needed X-rays I would have arrived 30 min before apt time.

      Both of my doctors were very good at describing my treatment options, listening to my concerns and informing me of all my options. I am amazed at the turn around of my injury and very pleased with my recovery.

      The PA came in then the doctor. Because of 3 _____ _____ of age and health suggested shoulder replacement and explained in detail and undecided he left room to allow husband and I to weigh the pros and cons. Then returned shortly - I appreciated dr. doing this.
