Still, all available estimates of the actual gay and lesbian population in the U.S. are far lower than what the public estimates, and no measurement procedure has produced any figures suggesting that more than one out of five Americans are gay or lesbian.
First, understand cortisone injections are an attempt to break the pain/inflammatory cycle associated with an injury. Once the pain cycle is broken, exercise is used to strengthen and stabilize the area. Wait at least 24 hours before beginning any exercise after cortisone injection. The injection itself may cause pain. If the client has pain beyond the 24 hour period, wait until the pain from the injection has completely subsided before beginning exercise.
If you have had a cortisone injection, you are asked to ice the area 20 minutes out of each hour for 6 hours, then 20 minutes on and 20 minutes off as needed for 1-2 days. Any excessive time of icing can cause freezing of the blood in the back. This can cause permanent scarring.
