Horrendous sholder pain
Since last Saturday I've been having horrible sholder pain it hurts to breathe it hurts to move any suggestions on this im on methotrexate and celebrex and prednisone and nothing really helps is this just a bad flare or what are you guys suggestions
if the pain persists I would ask for an X-ray. I have had a long time shoulder issue that will require surgery to correct. I have put it off for years and it keeps getting worse. It is number 4 on my list of things I need to do. Yes number 1-3 are that bad. 😀
- I am terribly sorry to hear that your shoulder is really hurting badly. Has your pain eased any since posting 3 days ago? I see you are fairly new to our site - I want to welcome you.
I had shoulder pain a few times, just recently a few months back, and it can be irritating and painful. I used a heating pain alternating with an ice pack to help ease the pain. I sure hope others offer up their experiences with shoulder pain.Have you contacted your treating physician to see if he has any options — maybe PT or treating it conservatively with ROM or the opposite keeping it immobile? He would be best to treat you.
Until others pop in and discuss their shoulder pain, here is a link to some articles and forums where shoulder pain is the topic. https://axialspondyloarthritis.net/search?s=shoulder%20 I hope you find some helpful information. Rebecca
(Axialspondyloarthritis.net advocate)it has eased to a manageable level I think I probably slept worn or over did it last week but I decided to take the approach that just keep moving it and working on moving it because keeping it immobile wasn't working enough and that has helped a good amount but im also overdue for my neck injections like almost 3 month overdue thanks insurance so thanks.ive only been officially diagnosed with this since January 2023 even though an mri picked it up and it lists it as a diagnosis in 2016 I just was never referred for contuned care and now I have a great rumatologis Have you been being treated for the pain since 2016? Or only just recently? So glad you found a terrific rheumatologist and finally recvd a diagnosis. I sure hope he jumps in and helps with the pain and fatigue and any other symptoms such as the shoulder pain you are having. I think keeping mobile with reference to the shoulder is a great idea. Immobility does make shoulder pain worse. Do you see a pain specialist for neck injections? Insurance needs to get their act together and get the approval so you can get some relief sooner than later. I am also in the process of getting injections and waiting for approval. Have had the MRI just need to schedule it. I am hopeful these injections, and possibly nerve ablation will be effective on the pain. Thanks for following up and keeping us updated on your condition. I wish you well. Rebecca (Axialspondyloarthritis.net moderator)
