Default shot

Hi there...
Glad you have relief from the steroid shot!I have Fibro,arthritis and several
herniated disks etc....Also anklosing spondylitis.

I have had steroid shots in my arm several times within the past few yrs.
Also have been given the depo packs a few times.
No dought it took the edge off the pain...also gave me energy!Actually drained my sinuses too which have been stopped up for yrs.
The down fall was weight gain.And when it wore off I knew it!

I was wondering about where your injection was given?Was it at the tender points?
One DR wants to perform a spinal nerve block.I have heard many outcomes of that procedure...so am reluctant to proceed.
Any advise? Izzy
