i'm not exactly sure what the shot contained... i asked the nurse when she called to confirm the time for the second shot and she said it was a steroid. are there different kinds? i don't want to sound dumb, but i didn't know what to ask.

since going to the pain dr., i have just done what he told me to do. i have taken the meds as prescribed - methadone 5mg 3x daily, gabapentin 2x daily and then the amitriptyline at bedtime. i have not taken any norco. i have been reading a lot on drug dependency and the dangers of it all, but this combination i am taking is working for me. i haven't really had a lengthy talk with the dr. about the illness so i am just a puppet on strings right now. my education is coming from you guys.

can someone tell me what i should ask the next time i go in for a shot? i go tomorrow at 10:30 and i want to be prepared.

thanks again for all of the positive feedback and "nurturing."
