No NSAIDS. These are non steroid anti inflammatories. Advil (ibuprofen) , Aleve (Naproxen), no vitamins that have vitamin A or E, no Omega 3 or fish oils. Anything that is a blood thinner do not take. If you're not sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist. Tylenol (Acetominophen) is ok however.

What betnesol injection is used for?
Betnesol, or betamethasone, is a steroid injection administered during pregnancy when preterm birth is a possibility. The steroid injection helps to produce surfactant in the baby's lungs, allowing them to inflate without sticking together. Normally, babies do not make this surfactant on their own until around 32-35 weeks. If your doctors are recommending this injection for you, they should have detected something that tells them your baby is at risk for premature birth. You should ask for documentation of why this shot is being recommended for you and what your alternatives are. You haven't indicated any risk factors that would necessitate such an injection.

What is the most dilated you could be to get an epidural?
Women do not have to wait until they are dilated to a certain level before they can ask for, or receive, an epidural. According to the ASA's (American Society of Anesthesiologists) current guidelines, "patients in early labor should be offered the option of receiving neuraxial analgesia (spinal or epidural) when the service is available, and it should not be withheld to meet arbitrary standards for cervical dilation." If a woman is in active, established labor, and is uncomfortable, epidural analgesia is the most effective method of pain relief. There is no medical reason to wait for a specific dilation target.

How bad is pain following steroid injection in shoulder?
It shouldn't be too bad after about 12h or so. Along with the steroid, you should get some local anesthetic that should take care of most of your pain. If you have persistent pain or certainly worsening pain, you should be concerned for infection and contact your doctor. Not bad. Keep some ice on it off and on at the beginning to keep down inflammation. It might ache a bit for a day or two, but no big deal.
