Posted By Keizh45

"Ultra Sound and follow-up procedure."

About: Kalgoorlie Health Campus / Medical Imaging

(as the patient),

I had a lot of pain to my right shoulder, my GP referred me to the Imaging team at the Kalgoorlie Health Campus.

The Ultra Sound found Bursitis to my Right Shoulder and 2 weeks later the  procedure was done.  

Using Ultra Sound to place the Cortisone Injection into my shoulder.

I experienced very little discomfort, the procedure was a success and the pain has now gone completely.
