    I hope it goes well for you. It worked well for me, and psychologically the pain of recovery is more bearable. I'm 5 months in after capsular release surgery and my life is back on track, it does ache sometimes but that is nothing in comparison to the daily grind of excruciating pain.

    It's all about getting better after Friday!!

    Best wishes

    Karen

      thanks Luvvy....oh trust me....I will be the perfect patient after op, will only do exactly what they tell me to do and how they tell me to do it. I want SO bad to be pain free. I want to sleep on my side in my bed, I want to be able to pick my baby grandson up, I want to be able to get dressed without help and pull my jeans up after the toilet.

      Oh Jim....that's great news, maybe the injection IS working, maybe each day will be a little bit better......gosh I hope so 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

      Can you take anti inflammatory tablets just to keep the inflammation at a low while the cortisone is working???

      the injections may help with the pain and i have to do stretching exercises over the next month , then go back to the docs , but i dont think the exercises are doing much good

      oh take it easy.....I've read on here to use a heat pack before your exercises and ice afterwards. If you think it is aggravating your problem maybe you need to talk to someone

      Me and my wheat bag are best of friends 😀.

      Dont give up......Groundhog Day will change im sure, it's only 3 days since your injection. I use my heat bag when I go to bed and if I wake through the night or early hours I re heat it at whack it on my shoulder. I like to heat it for 3 mins then I wrap it in a hand towel and put it on, when it cools down a bit I ditch the hand towel. I find the heat can be very soothing. Sometimes just watching telly I will heat and use too 😘❌❌❌

      the wheatbag is quite useful , it does ease the pain , the numbness in my fingers is not getting any better though , i was given some exercises to do and that helps but as with the shoulder as soon as i get up it starts all over again.

      Morning sunshine......glad your wheat bag gives you some relief. If your fingers are numb is that trapped or pinched nerves causing that? Can you take Voltarin tablets they are an anti inflamatory, just may help in easing inflammation off those nerves.....maybe!!!  We can by Voltarin across the counter, don't need a script, not sure about over there. What are you up to today 😀

      Oooh that will probably do you good....a few beers and a chitty chat with your mates? ENJOY!!!

      yep ask your chemist if they have over the counter Voltarin, get the strongest ones you can. But no good if you have an ulcer and always take it with food if you can get them. 😘❌❌❌
