Last weekend I had terrible shoulder pain (as I've written in another post). Finally got to see rheumy yesterday and within 10mins they had ultrasounded my shoulder and found I had calcific tendonitis. You could see the extra bone in my tendon! I had a steroid into the joint and its already feeling a lot better.
Its never that easy!
Its so lovely to be diagnosed with something that will go away - is that odd?

That doesn't sound odd to me. I had suffered back pain on and off for 18years but the Dr's just told me to rest...end off. It was only 2 months ago that i was diagnosed with OA of the spine. Although it's a bit difficult to accept there is no cure, at least i finally have a propper diagnosis and i now know why i'm in pain. I've been taken seriously at last.

When they finally diagnosed it and started me on steroids it's no wonder I was euphoric!

If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.

I felt pretty much the same way on Tuesday when I found
out I had a herniated disc in my spine which
is crushing the nerve paths, hence the
horrid pain I have in my back so I felt
pretty much like you did.
No I didnt hug the consultant either, :roll: but
he was really nice and caring, he said to the nurse
'get this lady a wheelchair out to the car park'
where my husband was waiting for me.
Some consultants deserve lots of praise,
others, mmm, no comment.

My right shoulder has been causing me pain for months. When I next see my GP I'll have to say something.
You must be relieved to have it sorted. I've been keeping on top of my meds and when it gets really bad I've been lathering it with deep heat. I have OA in hands - i seem to have lost the strength in my arms/hands.
I'm glad you're having some relief.
