Thank you so much for your help. The cold packs have helped recently and the gentle exercise at Curves. The heat seemed to make it worse. The other posts seem to indicate that the pain will subside in time if I keep some gentle PT going. It is frustrating to have such pain just to get dressed. I have seen my doctor and will follow his advice to take steroids if necessary. The other posts indicate that the pain returns when the steroid course is over.View Thread
Thanks for your reply. Can the needle get into the bursa or damage the attachments of the muscles onto the bones? I want to know what might be happening and any long term problems. My doctor suggested some kind of steroid treatment. What has been the most effective?View Thread
My post was in response to the first one I read which was about a flu shot from 2 years ago. Now I am reading about those more recently posted. I appreciate the fact that several mention that the shots were given too high on the shoulder. This was my first impression since the one who gave it at the CVS asked me about my shoulder bone, thinking it was an abnormality. That worried me! It has hurt for 3 weeks. Is is the problem with this new flu shot? Are they telling the clinics to give it higher on the shoulder? Ouch!View Thread
I know that this has been 2 years ago, but when did the pain go away? I had my Fluzone 3 weeks ago and it still wakes me up in the night. I can move it and work but it hurts ,especially at night and after a day at the microscope. Should I get steroid shots like the doc recommends?View Thread
