[QUOTE="stani36, post: 116224, member: 24450"] Hi, I had a shoulder operation on 22nd December 2009 after suffering with dreadful pain and not much movement for 4 years. The course of it is unknown all I can remember is waking up one morning feeling like I'd slept funny! It's 4 weeks today since I had the operation and I'm still suffering with a lot of pain and discomfort, especially at night time. This is why I'm on here at 4am and not fast asleep!! I had a follow up with my consultant/surgeon at St Peters Hospial, Chertsey yesterday and he explained how the operation went. He talked me through the photos taken during the operation and said it was the worst he had ever seen - joy! He asked how the pain was and was it better now or before the op. I said before the op. He has suggested about having a cortizone injection under general anasthetic next Monday to see if this helps with the pain and discomfort. I'm a bit reluctant and am hoping someone can put my mind at rest. I was advised before my op that cortizone injections are not recommended for insluin dependant diabetics as it can crystalise with the insulin and cause further complications and this is why I was offered the op instead of the injection. Now the same consultant is saying I should have the injection, I'm confused!! Looking on the internet all I can find out is that it can play havoc with your blood sugars but I can cope with that. I'm back up the hospital today for the diabetic clinic and will also ask the consultant. Is anyone able to offer any advice please? I'm sat here in floods of tears as I'm in sooooooo much pain and just need some reassurance that all is going to be ok I guess. I don't think I can take much more of this! Thank you very much.
