Pitser, Do you think the shots will also give my body relief from the RA? I usually get a small shot at each visit to my doctor. This time, she passed on it. Probably knowing how much I would get Monday. I don't know.

Grandma's. A Dr is giving shots. That is all he does. He is an anetheoisiogist. I hope they last at least two months. Especially my neck. I wonder what life is like without pain.

Each and every person reacts to each shot differently. It depends on the meds used, quantity used and the doctor giving the shots.
I went to 5 doctors over more than 5 years before I found one who got all the combinations right and provided me with relief. Not only did he help me, the pain relief lasted anywhere between 6-10 or so weeks depending on how I treated my body. If I did too much, the shots did not last as long.
One more thing, I don't know that an RA doc knows enough about pain management to give you the right combo of shots. Usually, although not all the time, a specialist does these shots. That all they do. Many of these doctors are actually anesthesiologists.
Hope this helps.
Here's to a good day!!
