Hope your shoulder loosens up with rest.
so do I, Cortisone is one of those treatments where the response is very individual, I usually respond well yet for others it will have no effect. It also can have a serious effect on some health conditions. For example it spikes blood sugar at the time of injection. There is a good reason you have all the paperwork to read and sign before they inject you.
speaking of drug interactions, I may seem a little anal against some advice given by members here, but is only to protect members from potentially terrible health outcomes. I have nothing against herbs as such, but when it is suggested to members to take a herbal supplement that has a long list of side effects and serious drug interactions with common heart medications, all for no weight loss benefit I will speak up. I have been accused of being a bully for pointing out the facts, with the suggestion that I should have written the advice in PM to the person giving the advice, this is pointless, doing so would have still left the member receiving the advice completely ignorant of potential side effects along with any visitors to the thread.
As for diet methods, I personally follow a strict keto lifestyle but I will never push this way of eating for everybody because it is not the only way to loose fat, calorie counting or no calorie counting are still valid methods of weight loss. Vegan or Carnivore, both can be done in a healthy way and as those who have been on the forum for a long time will know, I will support you whatever the choice, no matter if it is different to my own choices. People forget that weight loss is not simple, a lot of what we do is based on estimates, most people including myself have no access to labs and machines to get super accurate numbers. Formulas are only ever a rough guide, with several formulae all trying to achieve the same outcome eg the various formulae to calculate calorie intake. BMI is another, it has many drawbacks as discussed earlier but for some that is all they have access to, you just understand it is not the best indicator of healthy weight but it still has it's place for some.
I will also not give advice on some of the methods for fast weight loss used by athletes, for a similar reason to the herbal/supplement/drug reasoning. While it can be done in a safe way, for some there is a risk of death. When dealing with desperate people with unknown health problems, the risk is too high. These methods like some of the herbal suggestions etc, do not produce permanent weight loss, and it certainly is not fat loss.
Loosing 10+ kg overnight after 1 week of simple prep may sound great on the surface but it is NOT fat loss.
this rant is getting a bit long, it is my frustration beginning to show, and for the record, I am not a bully, I am not male lol, and if you are too sensitive to hear the truth without taking it as a personal attack, it is your problem not mine.
