Recently, I finally gave in and went to an orthopedic specialist about hip and shoulder pain. After being x-rayed and given a range of motion evaluation, it was determined that I had a locked shoulder, arthritis in my hip and shoulder. I wasn’t sure how to handle this since I am fairly young still.
The recommendation was some physical therapy at home. I was given my exercises. Next thing to do was cortisone shots. I must tell you have never felt that kind of pain from a shot before! I guess I should’ve known that something was up when they had to put a numbing topical on the skin before giving the shot.
I was in a great deal of pain and had bruising from the shot. It took me nearly 5 days to recover. But, now I am feeling a 100% better from the cortisone shots and the physical therapy exercises at home. This truly amazes me.
I don’t know to much about as I have just descovered that I have arthritis, and they gave me a shot of cortizone as I was in so much pain and just happened so quick. I had it in my back a few years ago but it is back again now. if I could get some information on it I would apperation it. Ruth
