Cortizone shots

A question for those of you that have taken the shots to treat the AA.  My personal physician diagnosed my alopecia areta and said one of the possible treatments is shot in the bald patches.  I took the shots in the (at that time) area with no hair.  That was one of the most painful and unpleasant experiences I have ever had.  My question is, when you took the shots was it extremely painful or was that because a primary care physician did the work and not a dermatologist?

Trauma related hair loss

I'm not too sure exactly when my hair started falling out.  I noticed it around December of 2014.  Interestingly enough, much of my hair is also turning white.  I'm in my 60s so white is not a problem.  Anyway, I realized that both of these issues came about after I had surgery.  I've heard that surgery can cause your hair to turn white I'm just curious is anyone's alopecia started after a traumatic event?
