About 3-4 weeks ago we had a winter storm here in Ohio that caused significant icing to everything it touched. Needless to say, I fell in our driveway right smack on my knees. I had doubled my Medrol for awhile and was okay, but have gradually been getting worse over the past 2 weeks. I saw my doctor yesterday and he gave me a Cortisone shot (systemic) and what a relief. I haven't felt this good in a couple of months. I was able to get right out of bed this morning with minimal stiffness and pain. I know it won't last too incredibly long, but oh the relief during the time that it's working.
Hi JacRad,
I know what you mean about steroid shots. I only had to have them a few times in a knee, after it was aspirated - which isn't a pleasant experience. But it definitely helped get through the acute swelling and pain.
I hope you start to feel a difference with your medications soon. My best wishes to you, and Go Bucks! (I'm from Ohio too and went to Ohio State).
