Hello all.
HC, sadly, not my final final... but my final midterm :D. You had a corticosteroid shot?. did you hurt your wrist due to an accident? Tendinitis? Usually, cortisone shots are supposed to be able to be tolerated, but it really depends on who gives it to you... skilled doctors can give it with little to no problems. If the shot is hurting your wrist and it's hurting more than usual or your wrist isn't feeling better, then you may have something called a cortisone flare, and that's when the cortisone crystallizes in your synovial joint, causing more pain. If you want, you can try to ice your wrist a bit (10 - 15 min at a time) and see if it makes the owie go away. If not, I can make it go away later ;) |

Ohhh Sneezy, you said the magic words... "i can take it away later"... *sigh* lol
I was in a car accident in September... long story short, an idiot doctor told me to "keep it braced until it stops hurting and take three motrin three times a day." Needless to say, I did this, but kept seeing him every 4-6 weeks with the same complaint. (I was gripping the steering wheel tightly, rear ended, all that "whiplash" went into my wrist) It could have been a simple fix with PT and time. But no... I ended up having to go to another doc who ordered Occupational Therapy 2X a week for a month... this was my first check up with her. She moved it all around and said, yes, you need a cortisone shot. Which is where I am. OT has been helping tremendously, but its still quite painful. And yes, it is getting worse. It hurts MUCH more than it did before the shot. I'm assuming it will get worse before it gets better, but ouch. My owie is an uber-owie. Make it go away, Doc! Any means necessary... ;) |

Yeah... see... I ASKED before... and they told me a number of hours that worked out to be the end of April, beginning of May.
And when I just called my rep to find out what the heck was going on, I got the lie that she wasn't available--their phone person was a terrible liar, so I know she was there and just didn't want to talk to me. The thing is... ANOTHER position has opened up here, and I think I'm qualified--only, if they have to pay my fee, I won't even get in the door. It's making $20k more a year than I make now. I mean seriously--can *I* just pay the freakin' fee? |

Well, the good thing is... if you don't feel any pain, then the problem could be a lot bigger... for your doc to resort to cortisone shots... hmm... makes me wonder... it's usually NOT the first route they go. And the fact that it hurts... makes me think that either your doc stinks at giving corticosteroid injections or it flared.

Well pretty ladies... I am going to go to the gym... have not been in about a week, so this will be good for me.
HC: rest up that wrist... the more you use it, the less the cortisone won't take effect. Also, it wouldn't hurt to ice it a little bit. Synn: you should throw rocks at them. |

The first doc I saw was incompetent. He didn't listen to what was wrong, nor did he care about the pain. In fact, the last time I saw him he said (and I quote), "You're fine. You're not hurting. Have a nice year!" Idiot.
I went to the best hand surgeon in the Nashville area on a referral after Idiot Doc (ID) kicked me out. I've been quite pleased with her so far. I never imagined that a shot could hurt so much... its starting to bruise as well... rah... Anyway... complaining isn't going to help anything! I'll drink my coffee, listen to my music, and hope it goes away! |

Sadly, it's EXTREMELY expensive to open a sonic's... like, 7-figure expensive. Get one for me too!! Currently @ work. I know... I was supposed to go to the gym, but the workahaulic in me just couldn't bear it. I'll be here for about 10 more min, then I'll go to the gym. |

Sometimes the gym is a reward after a rough day... at times, there's nothing I'd rather do than burn calories on an ellyptical... other days, its like walking to my death... has to be done, but grrr...
And with as many Sonics as there are on my way home... I'm going to have to visit the treadmill! I'll pick one up for you... :) |
