Subacromial Bursal and Posterior GH joint injection of the Right Shoulder for Adhesive Capsulitis

This is a pretty standard injection for adhesive capsulitis. I do find the subacromial bursal injection is a bit harder as the anatomy makes the space a bit more narrow in some cases. Most patients have some degree of burning for the next 1-2 days but I usually quote to patients that 10-15% can have significant burning for 4-5 days. The injection still works well but they will be uncomfortable. If you 'hit' a nerve, which is rare, they can be REALLY uncomfortable for weeks and maybe even months, but again, the injection can still be effective.
