Yes, you can have them every 3-4 months, when they start to wear off. I had them in my wrist (through my carpal tunnel) and into my shoulders, like you.

I had a steroid injection into my shoulder at my gp surgery in february 2009 and have had no problems since then. He did say that I could have more if the problem returned.

I had a problem with repetitive strain injury in my arm, and needed 3 steroid injections over the course of a few weeks to get relief. That was about 18 years ago and have not (fingers crossed) had any pain since.
