I get a steroid shot in a joint my lower back/hip once a year... I go from excruciating pain to absolutely no pain with the steroid shot. And it lasts about a year, then I get another. I've been doing this for about 4 years now with success...
This was after I endured about a year of physical therapy and chiropractor adjustments resulting in not even a hint of improvement.
Interesting. After I got the immediate relief on my knee, I asked the doc "why can't you do that for my back?". He said "well, we may be able to". So, coincidentally, I can't do an MRI due to all the metal in my body however, I am scheduled for a CT scan this afternoon. I can only dream of being pain free again, even if it's temporary......I'd be up for that a hell of a lot quicker than another surgery. Just don't feel like I'm up for to many more surgeries.
Now, back to this....
I've been pretty calm and relaxed about it until the last 24 hours or so. Now I'm obsessed again.
You guys know what I'm a talkin bout.
