@miznancy I feel that my doctor doesn't think the pain is real. It just can't be anything else, and has become worse with every injection. I am far from being a hypochondriac, and just want to enjoy my very active life without this horrible joint pain. It is so bad now in my neck and shoulder that after X-rays I was injected with Botox in the muscles and cortisone in the joint. I hope it helps. I don't want to break any bones, but this has been miserable. And the exhaustion! I have been checked out with blood work, and that has to be the reason. Nothin else is wrong and I am a cheerful person- except when I am suffering!
