RBassett, I was also really hoping for some pain relief on your behalf! Were you given a timetable for this? I've had 4 shots so far that provided noticeable pain relief right away, but the longest any of them lasted was about 4 hours..Thank you for being willing to post your reaction and I hope your treatment makes a difference over time? Just sending HOPE right now--that maybe medical science will start making headway on some cell therapy that will help us (preferably soon). /jpm
