ISO: Medical knowledge on Rolen's cortisone
As lboros pointed out this morning, we can all see the positive results of Rolen's cortisone shot (both last october and over the past week).
Any medical practitioners out there who know how long we should expect this to last? Do the benefits wear off? Could he simply get another shot if they do?
As we cling to the last remnants of hope this season, I think we all can agree that any chance of contending whatsoever is contingent on the productivity of Scott Rolen.

The cortisone frees up the shoulder
With Rolen's scar tissue, the only real rehab he can have is breaking it loose. He should try to dive head first as much as possible and run into as many Korean 1st basemen as he can...without breaking his shoulder again. :D

Side Effects
Most physicians limit cortisone injections to 3 or less per site per year. Many people with connective tissue disorders and rheumatoid conditions benefit from it so much that they suffer through the side effects because it makes them feel so much better.
Larry Walker had 3 injections in less than 2 months. Thats how bad his neck condition was.
