@caligodgirl Hello Cindy and welcome to Mayo Connect.
I am so sorry to hear of this difficult pain and internal bruising from scar tissue. Having lived with this for 5 years sounds so hard.
Do any of the doctors you have seen offer you any suggestions for this scar tissue problem?
Often large medical centers have a plethora of specialists who can help with severe problems like you have reported. Have you considered a second opinion from a large medical center like Mayo (they have locations in Minnesota, Florida and Arizona) or perhaps a large medical universtiy in your area?
We look forward to getting to know you and supporting you.
Teresa

I like your name. God is the best place to start in any part of our lives.
I've had 4 gastric surgeries, and had to have one to deal with the adhesions from the priors. Anytime my stomach hurts, I start preparing my mind to go to the ER. I was thankful for one surgeon who straightened out the line up my stomach and gave me my belly button back.
I surely hope you find a way to get things sorted out soon. Don't worry about the length of your posts. I'm one of the ramblers here, and everyone puts up with me.

After a while you get used to the shots. Ii waited for 2 1/2 months before i went and that was because the blood pressure hiked up to a serious count When they spray the numbing gas on the knee at the same time they insert the needle it does help some. must buy another large bottle of Advil's and i think i should buy stock in the Advil's. and will somebody please talk to my ulcer. just can't win but again, turn up the music please. take care all.
I had an ulcer back in the 90,s Dr. put me on Medium but I also drank plenty of 12 @ a12 this felt good on my stomach.Sharing information
Nexium Hate auto type sorry for this in my post
It has been a few days since you had the shot in your knee, how is it feeling?
dear justin, the knee is worse. thank you for caring. this is about the beginning of the fourth month now. i made an appointment with a group of doctors that say they have a way of getting the needle to the exact or correct spot to insert. i need to wait about 17 more days for the appointment. who knows? is this a way to get customers? will go anyway. my knee hurts in the inside part of the knee close to the other leg. the outer part is fine. never had this happen before. it is usually the entire knee like the pain wraps around it. will let you know.
Thank you for the update. I had an injection on my left shoulder a few months back. They used ultrasound to find the right spot. It was a weird sensation and I was also told that it would take up to ten days to feel the affect. I also did not notice a huge difference. However, now that it has passed I do think it helped but I was just not aware of it in the morning. I wish you success and would love to hear your progress.
justin, i think the pain is in the arteries, veins, whatever. ultrasound was used to rule out dvt. but i feel a pulsating throb wen pushing on the area. but the doctors do not want to hear this. perhaps this is just normal for the age. if the pain leaves that is all i want.will really like to know what is causing this. i

@peach414144 Hi, Barb. I just hate those knee shots, and I refuse to get another one until I am totally unable to walk. But I won't be able to crawl, either, so I guess I will just roll or drift in the high tide. It is almost as bad as the hip bone biopsy.
