Cortisone shot advice

I know that there are threads on here already about shoulder injury and Cortisone shots but I don't have time to look for them. I have decided to get a Cortisone shot this week for bicep tendonitis. My question is: Can I swim then? My fear is that if I do I might tear it and do further damage. However, I am also thinking that if the shot works, the inflammation will go down and I won't hurt it. Any advice and/or experience is appreciated. :agree:

    Mrs. Duggan, My last cortisone shot was well over 30 years ago. It was the most painfull injection I have ever had. The bore of the needle matched my pupils when I saw it. The pain I experienced wasn't from the girth of the needle, it was from the healing medicine. It worked like magic.
