Most superior labral tears can be treated with anti-inflammatory medications, activity modification and physical therapy.
A superior labral tear is an injury to the cartilage that covers the top part of the shoulder socket. I think this is what you are describing.
Superior labral tears can occur when a patient falls onto an outstretched hand or shoulder. They may also occur in association with rotator cuff tendonitis and tears.
A cortisone injection should relieve the pain rather than worsen it. Give your doctor a call and report that your shoulder feels worse following the injection.
