Had a cortisone shot for shoulder impingement

12. I wanted to share my shoulder experience with you earlier. I got distracted.

I had both of mine go out simultaneously a few years ago. I could barely get dressed, bathe and perform other basic activities as you can imagine. I was eventually healed by using methods that were given to me by an Occupational Therapy provider.

I took no medication, no shots and refused surgery. Which I avoid at all costs because once the cutting starts you may not be able to end it. It took almost three months but one day I was just better. It was like a miracle.

I know not everyone has the schedule flexibility that I have. But I took it easy on myself and my pain eventually disappeared and my mobility returned. I was told at the onset it could go either way but I was also advised that surgery wasn't always successful.

I was told that sometimes shoulders self heal. So, I went with that notion and hoped. I feel lucky mine did. But it took time, lots of mindful movements and patience.

I hope you're fortunate to continue with being pain free. I'm so glad you found relief.
