Very happy with the Corisone shot effects!

Hi gals,

I had my first cortisone shots yesterday in my right hip and knee. I slept sooo good for the first time in years because I could sleep in nearly every position without being uncomfortable. Today is my first workout so we'll see how it goes. It's such a relief to move without pain. Now, my doctor does want me to get x-rays to check for potential arthritis in my right knee. I'm only 43 but because I've reinjured that poor knee so many times over the years, I could be prone. I'll also get my hip x-rayed.

Have a super day!
Pam

Pam - so happy for you! I've heard that when they do work it can be great. Let us know how the w/o goes.

My MRI in December showed some arthritis in my right shoulder and I'm only 23, so don't be shocked if you do have some. Okay - I'm actually 38 but stilllllll..... HA!

YAY! Very happy for you!! Isn't it wonderful to be able sleep in any position you choose?! I hope you have long-lasting effects from your shot! Good luck!

Thank you gals! My workout went pretty darn good- just a little sore from the injection sites. What I discovered was how weak my right hip actually is. Now that I have a better range of motion, I was really surprised how much weaker it is. I'm researching a Physical Therpist to help strengthen it the right way. Kari V. was one of the gals who suggested it and I agree whole-heartedly.

Oh, the sleeping comfortably makes such a difference! I slept through the night which I haven't done much lately.

Thanks for your thoughts and prayers gals! Kari, I will be beginning PT on Monday. The gal comes very highly recommended and better yet, is covered by our insurance. Phew! I have to go out of town next week so they managed to get me in on Monday.

I love this site and all of the support and encouragement!
