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. Lily's mama, Lydia -- Irulan from the stars we come to the stars we return from now until the end of time |

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, CatNipped "Irulan" wrote in message . ..

Lots of purrs. Did you get good drugs? ;-)
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.

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. |

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

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. |

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. -- Marina, Frank, Miranda and Caliban.
