Steroid injections/ frozen shoulder ???side effects
Posted , 5 users are following.
"I have both shoulders frozen due to side effects of statins. I had an injection to my right shoulder 2 weeks ago. After the 24 hr extra pain it returned to how it was. 10 days ago I had an injection in my left shoulder , same pain for 24 hours but from the day after I have had left sided pain in my left chest. I saw my GP the other day and said no chest infection, "see how you go". Has anyone experienced chest pains/ aches after steroid injection please?? Ive sort of ruled everything else out but this worries me because I had a mild heart attack last Oct.

can I ask who told you that?
ive had MUA on both shoulders fairly successfully but before that suffered enormously for about a year.
i had been taking statins for a no of years but had to stop because of severe joint pain kidney pain memory trouble....etc,etc
Frozen shoulder has never been mentioned as a side effect and I'm furious that I had to go through so much agony just because of a pill....

Steriods can have very dramatic and different side effects on people so I would definitely watch this and continue to speak to your GP regularly. Write down what you are experiencing. I know my hustand had two steriod injections and both times is relaxed his diaphram enough (the shots were in his spine) that he had the hiccups for 1 weeks (straight). Kind of undid any good the shot would have done to help him relax the muscles. He no longer gets shots now because of this issue.
This is my first so I am paying close attention and writing down everything I feel and what happens because it is easy to forget a week after the fact.
Good luck...
I am hoping this is enough to get me through but I may to the MUA next if the pain comes back as I am not interested in suffering for another year (I am at around 6 month phase when it is solid and frozen).
