[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 358317, member: 1991"] I had my shoulder injected last week. If you had asked me before the injection where the pain was, I would have said, "my hips, and my right shoulder. And my right shoulder is by far the worst." I had the shot, then walked back out to the car. husband was with me. I remember saying to him, "Now my left shoulder is hurting. I hadn't noticed it before, my right shoulder was screaming so loudly." And that is it - when you are used to pain, your mind does 'bleep it out' to a certain extent. I'm always in pain. When I was put on prednisone, the relief from pain was almost breathtaking. As I was weaned off, the pain began to return and I noticed it more, after it had been absent. I suspect with your knee, if it has worn down to bone on bone, that you are in more pain than you're perhaps aware. And it's not only pain now, but longer-term increase in pain as well as longer-term erosion of the knee, coupled with being older when surgery is carried out. If you're still unsure, get a second opinion. Marg [/QUOTE]
