[|Human|] Hello Last December I had a case of dermetitis on my back near my shoulder blade... I was prescibed a cream which I had to apply 3 x a day for almost 2 months... I was using my left arm, pushing my left elbow with my right hand trying to reach the dermatis .. In doing so I did not realize I was extending my arm , until I started to get some pain, and then boom!! I was in extreme pain . I tried to move my arm or try to sleep lying down, that was merely impossible.... I was sleeping in an upright position for 3 weeks on my couch... I was first given some painkillers, that did absoulutely nothing.. Thank God, when Monday came around I say my GP, and he gave me Naprosyn 500mg for 10 days... That helped a little, did some Physio, but still to this day can t rotate my shoulder or trying to place my arm behind my back, or even trying to wear my jacket is very difficult and painful... Should I get a cortesoine shot??? I still do my daily exercises... Thank you Mary
[|AI|]  Hello, I read carefully your query and understand your concern. The symptoms seem to be related to the shoulder injury. I see through the query that you have used Naproxen with minimal effect. So, yes, you can try to use steroid shots. You should consult your doctor for the prescription. Hope my answer was helpful. If you have further queries feel free to contact me again. Kind regards!  Chat Doctor.
