At any rate, give it some time. If you find that you don't get any relief from these, DO NOT LET HIM DO ANY MORE. If this first "round" of injections don't work, then the rest won't work either.

I had a bunch of injections, but this was before the internet, and before I could do any research to speak of. If I'd known what I know now, I never would have had them. I never got any relief either.

Best of luck -- I hope you DO get some relief. Take care and let us know what happens. Hugs, Lee
Yea' I thought it was kinda' weird that it was my first apt and he was ready to give me injections, I kinda' thought it would be a consultation first or something. I do know that he did NOT use any steroids. I told him that I did not want any, so the "freezing" was my other option. I will ask at my next apt in 2 weeks what the medication was that he used. Thanks for your help and kindness!
