shoulder injury

Dear Cathe

I have injuried my shoulder with a severe bursities about over 2 months ago and have not been completely pain free ever since. I had 2 cortisone shots into my R. shoulder joints, but it is taking so long to heal. Have you ever had injuries like this? If you have, did you recover fully and how long it took you to heal completely? Also, what type of exercise did you do? I have done some PT as well. I have been a bit depressed due to this injury. I need to hear a good news.

Thank you.

Hi Na Anderson! I'm sorry to hear of your injury. The healing process can be very frustrating. I have never had extensive shoulder injuries but I do know that they take a long time to heal. It is not unusual for a shoulder injury to take 4 or more months to heal (based on its severity). It is great that you are doing PT. This is very imprortant for your healing success. Don't rush recovery. You certainly don't want to have a set back. Ask your therapist for exercise recommendations and take your time easing back in. Good luck and happy new year!
