If your at the MRI point then Doc must think it's more then irritation.

i c my surgeon on the 14 for my surgery date, consult of recovery time etc.......

That's a smart move lightwt44. Get the MRI and find out what's going on. Getting a cortisone shot is fine for reducing the pain and inflammation, but you still have to let the injury heal. And this is a mistake a lot of people make. They get the shot they feel fine and they continue to train and doing so they are making the injury worse but the cortisone is masking the pain so you are unaware that you are doing more damage.
Doctors that don't inform you of this you may want to avoid and find another.
