[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 311604, member: 1514"] Sorry you are in a flare. been there done that so many times. Have you thought about a pain management center? I just found a new one that opened up here in town and I am considering getting a referral to it. Chewing on the idea. I know how much you dislike the steroid shots. I do too but sometimes we just have to do them. I did the lower back series before I went to Jamies and it helped. For how long, well we shall see. It never lasts as long as they hope. I also got one in my ankle that hurt like hell later that evening. It was a piece of cake when I got it done but hurt later for some reason. First time that has happened to me. Odd. But now my ankle does feel about 75% better. I hate how they ask me to rate how much better it feels...lol. I dont know...some! I have done my hips before and it was fairly easy. It was no way as bad as I thought it was going to be. I was scared to death but I didnt feel a thing so dont worry. It wasnt as bad as my knees and I do them so often I am used to them. I dont even flinch when they come at me with great big nasty needles! LOL. Yes I am in the middle of the gel shots right now. Once a week. Only two more weeks to go and then hopefully I get 3 months of relief. Or maybe 4 if I am very lucky. They call us the WD40 gang when they call us back...lol. [/QUOTE]
