Me too. Had it for 3 days now. Covid/influenza/RSV all negative. But classic ManFlu syptoms: - Can't get out of bed - Making random whimpers and squeeks - Compulsively saying "I don't feel well" whenever anyone walks by the door - Can't make my own tea/soup Hope it passes....
One for @greg246 My wife developed L shoulder pain immediately after her 2nd Pfizer Vax. I thought it was Rotator Cuff due to her keeping it immobile or holding it at an unusual angle post-vax, but it turned out to be a frozen shoulder. Now FS can be caused by many things, and sometimes nothing at all, but it is inflammatory in nature and vaccines can cause localised inflammation. I still thought it largely coincidental until the physio noticed a patter, of L FS post vaccine (30+ patients). So my question is: have you noticed and increase in L shoulder US/S or MRI procedures? Could be a PhD in this one* *If we slaughter enough rats
Whom diagnosed frozen shoulder? Clinical diagnosis? Then likely wrong. Get an MRI. I’ve actually seen quite a few cases related to injection, all due to poor technique. Nice summary of why this can occur here https://mdpi-res.com/d_attachment/vaccines/vaccines-10-00588/article_deploy/vaccines-10-00588.pdf?version=1649736336
Still impaired 10/12 post vax. Diagnosed by an orthopod. US/S normal. Interesting article, but a very small series. With so many newbs giving out vaccines, poor technique would be common.
Get an MRI. I’ve seen cases where the vax has gone into the tendon and caused focal tendinosis that can last that long. Can’t diagnose adhesive capsulitis with ultrasound. MRI will differentiate between adhesive capsulitis vs vaccine injury tendinosis. Can’t tell the difference clinically. Then will need a steroid injection tailored to what is the issue. Eg adhesive capsulitis = steroid into joint hydro dilation procedure. Focal tendinosis = steroid into bursa
I can't order an MRI (a bulk billed one, anyway). That's one of the reasons I referred. The orthopod had mixed feelings about hydrodilation, but it seemed the second best option. The best being doing nothing (one of my favourite medical techniques), pushing the ROM, and see what happens.
Yeah, but get a diagnosis first to make sure you’re on the right track. No point living in pain. I do about half a dozen hydrodilations a week, takes about 15 minutes, all referred from orthopaedic surgeons that specialise in shoulders. I will only do them if they have proven adhesive capsulitis on MRI. Bursal injections take a minute or so and are basically painless. Probably the most common procedure I do, about 30-40/week You should be able to get an MRI for about $250 GP referred. Just don’t go back to the place that did Jack last time
