Hello, wanted to update everyone on what has been going one with my arm. It has been 13 months since my flu shot and I am now 11 post op for shoulder decompression and acromioplasty. I was told that the flu shot caused bursitis and for whatever reason nothing helped to get the inflammation go away. I tried physical therapy and numerous medicines and treatments but nothing would work. I was able to get a second opinion from an orthopedist who told me my only other option was to do surgery to see if it would help and I reluctantly agreed. I felt reassured when going into surgery when one of the girls in anesthesia said she had been suffering from the same pain for a year and had been told that surgery was her only option at this point as well. I am not going to lie, for several days after surgery I regretted that I went through with it and was worried that I had made a mistake but Sunday I woke up and the pain was almost non-existent. I know I still have a long way to go to get back to where I was a year ago, but at this point I feel like at least I am back on track!
