Yes, it definitely ok to take Ativan before a cortisone shot. My neurosurgeon prescribed me 2 x 1mg ativan to take before my cortisione shot in my spine. No danger at all. All it will do is relax you but don't drive after, you have to be accompanied by someone and driven home in case it hits you a little more than you thought it would.
Yes. The two meds have no known dangerous interactions.

When you have a Cortisone shot-- they give it too you in a muscle- naturally because it is in that area- your shoulder will be stiff for a time- till it gets ride of the inflamation- hang in there -it will get better!
Cortisone is a form of a steroid (not the muscle building kind!) that will reduce inflammation and pain. They will inject this into the shoulder due to some type of pain. This shot will last for a few months to help a patient with their pain.
