Hi
I will be going for my second round in the middle of the month. I plan to wash both arms immediately after the injections, ice the sites when I get home. I got a little bit of swelling some itchiness and soreness with the first round. Cortizone cream took care of the slight rash. All of this went away in 3 days. My back was pretty sore after about day 3 so now I plan to take Tylenol around the clock if I get any soreness. I walked and stretched as usual and never limited my usual activity the entire time. I never had any trouble sleeping. I will be curious to see how round two goes and will post an update. Best advice: don't look for side effects. You may not have any. Hope that is true for you!
I try to meditate before the treatment and after. I usually am tired and feel a little foggy the day I get the injection. So keep that in mind. I do get a slight headache for a few days and some discomfort at the injection sites. The last time I got my injections ( 2 weeks ago) I actually had a massage right before and I had the least side effects, not sure if that was just a coincidence. Good luck to you. This is a great site for all of us to share the good and bad.
