@merpreb Merry, I have received injections in the back of my arms (1 injection in each arm) and in the abdomen. The nurse allows the medication to “warm” a little before injection. The needle is very thin and tiny and reminds me of the allergy shots I received subcutaneously many years ago. For me, there was no pain, not even a burning sensation, in my arms or abdomen. I switched to the abdomen more out of curiosity. I did not experience any injection pain afterwards. But that’s me.

I unknowingly fractured my sacrum last year. In retrospect I realize that the pain I experienced in one leg and then the other for over a month was related to that sacral fracture. I’ll take the joint pain I’m experiencing over another fracture. I already have joint pain from osteoarthritis and so as long as I can keep doing the things I do and like to do, I’ll stretch, do yoga, and go to the gym.

What other medications are being considered?
