Comfort purrs please?

I was diagnosed with a torn rotator cuff this morning, ouch
I got a cortisone shot which hurt like the dickens and hasn't helped any.
Does anybody know when this is supposed to kick in if it helps at all? And
then I have to go for physical therapy for 4 weeks, twice a week. I have
been gulping Advil and Aleve all day, plus the Relafen which is an
antiinflammatory. I hope I won't need surgery.
I am miserable.

Purrs headed your way - that's a tough injury to cope with! The cortisone,
if it was injected properly, should kick in quickly, but once it does the
pain will subside. The only thing is you have to be very careful you don't
worsen the injury while the pain is masked by the cortisone.

Hugs,

Dang, no. Because of my diabetes (nerve endings are shot), I can't take
anything stronger than Advil or Aleve or I start upchucking.
Heh.

Oo. Purrs for that shoulder. I've always heard they are just a b*tch.
But, you do usually get over them. I hope you don't have to have
surgery or anything.

Okay, you've earned your IWORPCA T-shirt.

Don't hope too hard against the surgery -- sometimes it can mean
better functionality, quicker and with less pain.

Hope you get relief soon. (When I took Relafen I had a bad
reaction to it.)

My mom has had it happen twice. (Though she didn;t know whtat it was
the first time and the doctors just handed her vioxx). This time it was
so bad she went to an orthopedic surgeon. It has healed wrong and the
bones spread apart so it can't be operated on without a 50% change of
making it worse, so she just took ibuprofen and it has gradually gotten
better. She took more powerful pain meds (they even gave her oxycontin
(sp?) ) but that did not help as well as the ibuprofen. It's a ton
better now though. SHe is very careful not to reaggravate it. So I do
believe it will get better. Painfree purrs coming to you.

So sorry, Lydia. I've had cortisone shots in both shoulders, but neither
did much good. One shoulder even hurt *more* for about 24 hours after
the shot, but the doc warned me that could happen. I've been having
physical therapy for years now, and I always feel better during the
therapy, but when it ends, I forget to do the stretches at home, and
then it starts to hurt again. Many purrs that your condition heals with
the corttisone and the physical therapy.
