Had my shot today... it was absolutely no big deal. The rehab doc and nurse had made a big deal about it on my last 2 visits, how I'd definitely need a ride home, how it make 9/10 people vomit and faint... but it was *nothing*.

No different than a simple vaccination shot... very routine.

I didn't notice any instant relief with the local anesthetic like some people apparently get, so I'm hoping that doesn't mean it won't work for me... the full effects of the cortisone will take 3-4 days so I'll sit tight and see what happens.

But seriously... they way over hyped it. I have a tiny bit of swelling there tonight and am using some ice on it... but even with the swelling its not even really uncomfortable.

Mostly, its like nothing happened.
