doctor says no upper body training for 2-3 weeks

Is this the norm when getting a cortisone shot in the shoulder? am I stuck doing hack squat /legpress/leg ext for the next few weeks and avoiding squats too due to the bar resting on my traps?

lol..I will tell you what the norm is and that is most guys ignore the docs orders..

On another note, it is only for a few weeks..is that so bad?

it's not really bad, it's just annoying, I've already had a week off when i hurt my neck ay

Listen to Doc.

Cortisone is catabolic so why work an area while its had a locallised shot of this. Let the cortisone do its job on the scar tissue etc not give it the opportunity to act on damage to muscle inflicted by normal training.

Just my opinion tho...

its not the end of the world,give your recovery priority so this doesnt become a niggling issues.

yeah fair enough I guess, cardio daily for the next 2-3 weeks it is then
