My injections are steroids and lidocaine I think. You can only get them like every two months.
I have an inversions table, but have not used it in a while...Might be time too! I also did spinal decompression twice....like 20 sessions each time. And I do also have a Tens unit, and they do help. But it's just constant pain. Even sitting any more!

I've over worked my back my entire life so not really surprising. I use to joke when I'd see an old man hunched over saying that will be me some day. Little did I know!!



They work by reducing inflammation for up to several months, however they damage other things, like cartilage, so they don't like to do too many of them
Do they hurt? Couldn't imagine getting needles that often.

Yeeesh. Especially in my thumbs.
Yeah it all depends where...the ones in my shoulder are not bad, so far. The good thing is it's over pretty quick...and yes, they do sometimes really help. My shoulder was totally pain free in June, but then the next injection didn;lt work as well...I'm getting my shoulder done again next, in about 3 weeks, for the 4th time this year

Do you know what caused the problems?
