I have been taking Advair 500/50 for a few years. My asthma flared up when I moved to the midwest, and developed severe allergies. I also take Flonase. I was relatively healthy and young (early 40s) and in great shape in spite of the asthma and allergies. Last year, I herniated a disc in my neck and tore a tendon in my arm. I had surgery for the disc 9 months ago, but the tendon in my arm has not healed. I've been diagnosed with "peripheral neuropathy". And I still have tendon damage in my shoulder despite more than a year of rest and LOTS of PT. Has anybody had similar experiences? I suspect that using Advair at such a high dose for a long period of time is to blame, but have no idea how to back that up.
