KirkV Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 I have been fighting the shoulder pain for about 8 months now and my job as a electrician require a fair amount of overhead work. Well when I was getting woke up 10 times a night in pain the wife was right, I went and saw a doctor He has givin me cortizone injections in both shoulders and has givin me 3 different anit- inflamitory's to try but none have helped so far. I have 15 days of Celebrex left and then it is time for the knife! He will grind out the bone under the shelf on my left shoulder and say's I will have about 4-6 weeks of physical therapy, then we tie into the left shoulder and do it all over again:eek:. I will probably be off work about 2.5 months by the time all of this goes down. But the Celebrex will get me through with the pain meds I have until I get to hunt the first turkey season with my gun LOL. As time gets closer I will update but it looks like time off work in the near horizon. I guess thats what 30 years in one type of work can do for ya!

OJR Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Good luck with the surgery! I used to take Celebrex all the time and switched over to Mobic! I have better results with it and don't have to take such big dosages! Celebrex was 200mg twice a day. Mobic is 20mg once a day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plannerman Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Had 1 shoulder done 3.5 years ago.....best thing I've ever done. It will be worth it. Nothing like a "brand new" shoulder after living with the pain. Just don't skimp on the therapy or rehab. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
