Hi — I hope you get a positive result. I’ve had a number of them over the years. Sometimes I’m good for years - sometimes I need once twice a year. Oftentimes my orthopedist sends me to PT 10 days after the shot to work on continually strengthen and stabilize my core muscles As much as I don’t like doing them, I do believe it has helped tremendously. I will keep my fingers crossed for success of this injection - last time I was told by the nurse to ice to help keep the medication in the area that it was injected, that heat helps dissipate it. Makes sense, I guess.

Do you mean cortisone injections?

Hi Willow5,
Thank you for your reply and well wishes. Me too.
Wow, good for years, I hope it’s that way for me.
I don’t have an orthopedist now, just some radiology that needs updating and new.
I will go to PT once the radiology is performed and I have reports in hand. They can’t help what they are unaware of and like anything else, some damage can be done if neglecting the reports. My thoughts I’ll share at drs appointments coming up.
They told me specifically “no heat”, I asked them about Ice, she said ice is good. So, I listened, although direct ice was irritation to the site, I placed it indirectly which offered some relief.
Thank you so much!
Feel better best you can. 😊
