New update

Hi guys.. Thought I'd post a new update.
So....
Finally saw orthopedic surgeon yesterday and was told not to worry about labrum tear in left shoulder as that is probably not the cause of my pain but more likely general wear and tear. Pardon the pun..
Following an examination I was then informed that my shoulder is well and truly frozen.(Think I knew this already.) I was given a cortisone injection and finally being referred for physio. My problem is the excrutiating pain I have been in since waking during the early hours this morning. Its far worse than the original pain if that was ever possible. The surgeon did say I might be sore for a couple of days but right now my arm is completely stuck to my side and even sitting back or standing up is making me feel sick with the pain. Is this normal? I'm wishing I'd never had injection now..

Sorry ive not replied until now. My shoulder is much better now thanks. It took a couple of days to settle but now just a dull ache which I can live with ☺.
Had MRI back in October. Thats when they found the labrum tear and tendinosis.
Am still waiting to hear from physio but thats no surprise with our lovely nhs is it!
I wont see the surgeon for another 6 weeks so hopefully I will keep getting better. Thank you again. You are all wonderful. Feel better soon.

i am so glad you are feeling a lot better. It's been two weeks since I had my first cortisone and I have to say the last three days pain in my arm had gone. I still had some stiffness but I could put up with that until it healed. However this morning I had my second cortisone. My GP did it again and he is brilliant at giving injections, I can honestly say I felt nothing except the initial sting when the needle went in. I then felt a pushing as he went into the joint but no pain at all. Marvellous. My shoulder and arm does ache now as it did the first injection so I am optimistic I shall have even more improvement. Not sure I will have a third injection as I'm afraid of the tissues softening too much. But I'm so glad I had it done and so pleased you feel so much better. All the best. And happy Christmas. The dreaded FS will it stop us!!
