Sorry, I've just fainted with the memory...................

*smelling salts, needed*

[tictactoe]

OK I've recovered...

I have no problem whatsoever with needles/injections wherever or whenever they are administered...will even watch it going in (unless of course it's in my backside lol)...

The pain (for me) was excruciating, but worth it when I consider how much agony I had been in with TE.

You may find the racket a bit hard to live with :)

If it's a cortisone injection it's just an injection .I am not frightened of needles and it didn't bother me ....but afterwards it was quite painful for a couple of days.It then settled down and I had a pain free elbow for ages ! Nowadays i need a new elbow !!

[valerieb1254]

Ive had quite a few cortisone injections, a couple in my elbows and quite a few in my shoulders.They have never hurt when I've had them. I always take strong pain killers ( off doctor) straight away and keep on them for a couple of days. Never had any after effects of pain. The last two I have had though did'nt work, I think I must have got immune to them.I'm having hospital treatment at the moment with my arms and shoulders and have to go for a scan a week tomorrow. Good luck for tomorrow it will be well worth it.

Thank you everybody.x

I had them as well, hurt like a ******, immediate relief but arm seizes up the next day it is then too painful to move for about 3 days, then all is fine for a few months.

Good luck

Let us know how you get on.

[tictactoe]

Guess some are lucky if it didn't hurt - several docs said it was highly painful (before I took the plunge)...


Symptoms etc identical to RATTER...

Good Luck for tomorrow sithlord...hope all goes well for you!
