Thank You JK - How painful are they? I have a high tolerance for pain, but so many say they are so painful.'

@nursnis Honestly, I really did not find them very painat all. There is always that little prick when they put the needle in but that’s a microsecond.
This topic reminded me this afternoon that my hip bursitis has been very painful recently so I called and made an appointment for cortisone. I have reached a point where I can’t sleep on either side, and I am a side-sleeper. It had seemed much better for a long time buts it’s back. :-(. I hope the doctor does it, not the PA. She hits the spot better than he does.
