I recently was diagnosed with Rotator Cuff Impingement by an orthopedic dr and was given a cortizone injection in my right shoulder. (Maybe I have been playing too much golf, lately)
he told me that I would experience some pain in the next few days but that would subside and the pain would diminish so that I could begin physical theraphy. After two days, of excrutiating pain and less of an ability to move my arm, I tried some exercises and heard what I thought was a 'pop" in my shoulder. The next day, my arm in the muscle are was black and blue over a space of about 8 inches.
My cardio says a blood vessel burst in my arm as the cortizone injection was too much. My INR went up to 7.4.....i had to get off coumadin for two days and now it seemed to have normalized.
My cardio wanted to put me in the hospital with my INR as high as it was, but thankfully, it came down to normal range.
Has anyone heard of anything like this? The "bleeding" I am told could have been disasterous if that vessel did not eventually clot itself.
Saturday, however, I did play golf and shot my low round of the year..........77. Guess there must be something good that came out of this!
