Frozen shoulder symptoms from Avastin what medication helps?

I wasn’t taking that med, but got two frozen shoulders at once. It was extremely painful and disabling. Could barely dress myself or get in my car. Very low ROM. My rheumatologist gave me a cortisone shot in each shoulder. It made it tolerable for me to attend intensive physical therapy. I did daily exercises at home as well. It was slow going on recovery. I feel for you. It’s very disruptive to your life. I found the shots helped a great deal, but it was still very painful. I made a full recovery, but it took probably a year.

thanks for sharing your experience, the frozen shoulder symptom started slowly, I had no idea what was happening till I could not lift my arms anymore- why is the cortisone shot so painful? I read similar experience about it by
community members, how long does it work, does it reduce pain and inflammation, does it help with arm movement, why did you see a rheumatologist and not an orthopedic doctor? does it matter? I have same issues with getting dressed and so much more- I started using Voltaren,4x
a day. It helps a little.

did this happen to you for the cortisone shot?
the care provider uses an ultrasound or a type of X-ray called fluoroscopy to see the needle's progress inside the body — so as to place it in the right spot.

The cortisone shots were not painful. The rheumatologist was quite skilled and placed them both perfectly. I was referred to her by my primary doctor. I guess because frozen shoulder can be an autoimmune condition. Also, RA and lupus run in my family. I suppose using a device to ensure the needle is in the right place is a good idea, especially if the doctor isn’t very experienced. My mom got her hip injection done that way.

I have read that for some getting a cortisone shot was a bad
experience - painful. I'm glad that this wasn't the case for you and your mom. Thanks for input.

The shots in my shoulders were not painful at all. I didn’t even feel them, but that’s me. I had one in the bottom of my foot once that was. I suppose it varies. Everyone is different. My shoulders were so stiff, sore and painful, I would have endured a lot to get them better. The physical therapy that followed was painful. Omg…..but I pushed through to get my motion back,

I’m on mvasi as well. I didn’t have this in my shoulder but in my index finger of my prominent hand. X-ray was normal as well. I haven’t taken anything or received any treatment. I’ve learned to manage without using that finger. The shoulder seems like it would be a much worse spot.

Are you still receiving mvasi and how many treatments? Do you have a port? Maybe you don't mind sharing. The infusion nurses find it difficult to find a vein. So far I have endured getting jabbed more than once for each treatment. I see an orthopedic doctor next week.
