"Infection is an infrequently occurring complication but should be included in the consent, along with bleeding and allergy. Vasovagal reaction within 5-10 minutes post-procedure can occur and lying patients down for these procedures prevents any unnecessary injuries if one was to occur. Flushing of the skin within 2-3 days after the injection can occur but are more common with intra-articular corticosteroid injections."
"Subacromial-subdeltoid bursal injections are relatively straightforward and well-tolerated procedure by the patients, although using larger than necessary needles and going into the cuff tendons are not so well tolerated. Emphasis should be made on the importance of post-procedure physiotherapy. Corticosteroid containing injectate can be injected into the appropriate space confidently under ultrasonographic guidance, and vascular, neural and tendons are avoided with certainty during the procedure."

"US-guided corticosteroid injections into the subacromial-subdeltoid bursal space are carried out with the patient sitting on a chair with the patient's back turned to the doctor. Lateral approach is the most frequently used approach in which the long axis of the supraspinatus is parallel to the probe. The appropriate position of the shoulder is identified with ultrasound (the thickest part of the bursa or the area with more fluid accumulation in the bursa), the patient is asked to stay still and keep the position."
