Kimmi,,,,just another reason not to get the shots... I hope people see this post I still have to tell my spine doc about it and in the meanwhile I am severely depressed from being on this cortisone but they said do not stop taking till they tell me then I still have to taper!..

I am so very sorry for your pain...that is awful....when and if this shot wears off I wonder what they will do for me...I was trying to weed in my garden the other day and I can not do that....any squatting or stooping or bending bought the pain back....the shot did help alot though...I hope somehow you can find some better relief....some different meds?
