Received my injection today along with a change of diagnoses

[Guest guest]

HI ALL

I have received my injection today, but have now been told that it is not frozen

shoulders that I have. Its to do with the tendons in the shoulder, and the

Doctor said it was the most common shoulder problem he has to deal with. He gave

me an anaesthetic then a steroid injection (not cortisone), and he did not hurt

unlike when I had injections from a GP for policemans heel, and the second one

was given without an aneasthetic.

The Doctor told me today that it may or may not work, but that it could take up

to 4 weeks to improve. He also said that if it works it could help the other

areas to get better including the other shoulder.

I still do not know what has caused the problem with the tendons, and if its

related to the CRP AND ESR being raised, as yet.
