My one was done under X-Ray so that they got the right bit, desperately painful as they injected each milelitre of saline following the steroid going in but putting in the saline allowed some movement to begin almost right away so physio started to work. Not a great memory but I would go straight for that procedure if it happened again.

you leg dissapeared?
lol too good to not say it, youve dealt with my childlike immaturity before huh
I must admit I found the cortisone injection very painful, my GP went to the treatment room, returned and he did the injecting himself. I never want to have another one again, golly gosh it did hurt a tad.[/QUOTE
Hello, i was just reading the statin poll post and someone mentioned frozen shoulder @Pollylocks so i did a search and found it can be a symptom of diabetes, my symptoms are...... a few months ago i started getting a pain that felt like it was in the inside middle of my shoulder but only if i put my arms very high, stretching in the air, this has progressed and its now painful to get dressed or even move it, i had a ct scan he other day and couldn't raise my arms above my head to get them out of the way, if i push myself up out of a chair it hits me like a train and takes about 10 minutes for the pain to subside, i was doing a spiny round thing on my kids skateboard the other day and oh wow the pain was incredible (don't ask why i was doing that lol) so...... if you have experienced frozen shoulder could you tell me if that sounds like it please as the site i looked at stated that the earlier its diagnosed the more successful the treatment will be so i should go to the doc (who i am avoiding)
Thankyou
I have had 2 frozen shoulders before being diagnosed with T2. The right shoulder first which was particularly painful. Don't know how it happen but when that shooting pain happens - it is so bad it brought tears to my eyes and takes 10 minutes or so to recover. Had the injection which was extremely painful and was eventually sent for physio. Think it was a good 18 months before I had the full movement back. Then the other shoulder which wasn't as bad as the first and I asked for physio straight away. then diagnosed T2. Now have pains in 1 knee which again have those shooting pains which are so very very painful. Also waiting for Carpel Tunnel op on both wrist. I am sure that this is all because diabetes. Both shoulders now ok. Knee better then it was 12 months ago. I'm active, work full time.
i have been given naproxin and codydramol that im supposed to take all the time, anyone know of a reason not to do this please?
