Comfort purrs please?

I hope you're eating nice, soothing things. Otherwise all that pain
medication might give you some stomach problems too, which you obviously
don't need.

I had a cortisone shot years ago, and remember how it hurt, but I don't
remember how long it took to help. My problem wasn't the same as yours, so
my experience probably wouldn't help anyway. I hope the pain has eased up
by the time you read this.

Hugs and purrs for your pain to ease.

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.

My husband tore his rotator cuff about 9 months ago (he's a 40 year old
carpenter), got the shot (which didn't work on him, either), and was in
horrific pain for about 3 months. He still can't sleep on that side, but he
can raise his arm over his head now, and he's been working. It's *still*
sore, sorry to say. I've heard this type of injury can take up to two years
to heal. On a good note, he had much more flexibility and less pain in his
shoulder within 6 months. He woke up one morning, took a shower, and yelled
for me, frantically. My first thought was, "Oh, God, what did he do to
himself now?" Turns out he wanted to show me that he could was his own back
again. Good luck! It just takes time.

I don't know anything about the meds, but I sure hope they kick in
soon and you feel better. Sending purrs to you to be back to normal
very soon!

Ouch! I've had one of those before. It took a long time to completely
heal, and lots of specific yoga exercises to strengthen the places that made
it vulnerable in the first place. The major pain improved and much of my
range of motion came back relatively quickly - the full range of motion took
a long time though. It's funny how we're not aware of our beautifully
functioning bodies until something gets hurt.

I hope you're feeling better soon!

I'm so very sorry to hear you are in so much pain.
Lots and lots of healing purrs and best wishes,

Your poor shoulder! I've had a lot of injuries myself lately and I find
co-codamol 30/500 is quite a good painkiller. It's stronger than the
co-codamol you can get over the counter which is not effective for pain such
as this. You get the 30/500 from your doctor or hospital.

Purrs that your pain abates soon and you heal asap.
