No steroids for me. It was severe and painful enough that the only way to fix my issue was surgery. I have heard of steroid shots for rotator cuffs or knees. This has helped the pain from some of the people I know who had those issues.
I really would suggest and MRI or x-ray. That way they can rule anything out, and can see your bones and discs. My orthopedic surgeon said one of the telling signs of a herniated disc is a radiating pain down one of your arms. Mine was so bad I couldn't lift my arm to hold a fork or brush my hair.
Nobody knows for sure what caused my issue. About 5 years before I had the ongoing pain, I slipped and fell in the shower and landed on my left side, hit my head and shoulder blade.
The instant the surgery was done the pain was gone. I was able to go home the next day, and was in a neck brace for about 2 months. I couldn't drive, but I was able to work from home.
Feel free to reach out directly if there is anything else I can help you with. I feel your pain!!!
Regarding your neck pain... I had a similar experience about 5 years ago. It was suggested to get an MRI. It turned out I had a herniated disc. Mine was bad enough that it was pushing on my nerves, and creating the pain down my neck, shoulder and arm. I had to have surgery for a spinal fusion in my neck. I hope you find relief soon. That was the worst pain of my life... and I've had two children!!!
I'm so sorry! Yea, that's where it hurts for me. Did they recommend steroids for you at all? What do you think was the cause initially? Thanks for sharing :)
I always enjoy your FunnieZ :)
I may have a pain relief solution for you until you get more concrete answers – I just emailed it over!
Thanks! I didn’t receive it.
