On 10/27/2021 i got a COVID booster at facility. The moment i was given the injection it felt very different from other vaccinations i had gotten in the past. On 11/1/2021 i contacted my PCP to inquire about the pain i was suffering in my right shoulder where i had gotten my last injection. Starting on the day after i got the booster i developed persistent excruciating joint pain in my right shoulder where i had the injection. I had CONSTANT pain and discomfort in the bicep, shoulder and neck. The pain became so severe i experienced trouble sleeping, and i got nauseous at times. I took Tylenol with no results. i tried medicated pads, but nothing relieved the incessant pain. On 11/03/2021 i messaged my PCP to let her know i was feeling a little better. That did not last too long. Eventually i was given meloxicam which helped a bit, but after a while i was taken off of it due to the dangers of side effects. I was referred to Dr (orthopedics). She determined that i suffer from SIRVA. Dr then prescribed a cortisone injection which gave me temporary relief. When i asked for another treatment i was told i had to be very careful not to have too many of them or i would suffer side effects. Dr then advised me to seek some Physical Therapy as an alternative to medications, so i went to PT for a complete regimen of PT for the shoulder. Again, the relief i got was temporary. I have periodically done the PT since, but it does not seem to do much, and at times it actually aggravates the problem. Dr left facility/practice and i began to see Dr. She agreed with Dr's assessment that i have SIRVA and she performed some tests to see if the previous cortisone injections had resulted in side effects, which they had not, and she allowed me to have another injection prior to going away on a vacation which allowed me to better enjoy my holiday. Dr prescribed diclofenac 75 mg EC tablets which at times work, but not always. When the cortisone wears off i am back to sleepless nights, chronic shoulder pain that radiates up my neck and down my arm, and into my right hand. i still have numbness in the hand when this occurs. Currently i am suffering more consistently. i have been taking the diclofenac 75 mg EC tablets once or twice a day, but they do not work well enough. At times when the pain becomes worse i will alternate between Tylenol and Advil as instructed by my doctor.
