It took them 8 hrs before they gave me anything, and then it was propafel and dilaudid inorder to reduce it back in place. I came home and have been on some kind of pain mgmt off/on since April. In June, I had a manipulation under anesthesia, which put me back to square one. I still have pain some intense pain with the frozen shoulder, but I can now force 80% of the range. Before the procedure, either me or the PT couldn't even force it.
My frustration with the pain meds is that I find one that works and doesn't make me dopey, but the doc won't prescribe the same thing twice in a row even though I don't take them nearly as frequent as prescribed. I have found a couple that I absolutely can't take and have had to ask them not to put them in his rotation. I figure maybe they're rotating because of auditing purposes. They told me to expect to be on them off/on for the next 10-12 months.
