All the best to you Swamp! The epidural cortisone didn't work instantaneously on me so don't be discouraged if it takes awhile. You may in fact need a series of two or three, depending. I hope not!

These helped my dad. Hope that they help you too.
Like Trix said, they took awhile to kick in, I think my dad required a second one before he got substantial relief and a third to totally eliminate the pain.

I got steroid shots in my ankle and it was really good for nearly two years. It's starting to act up a little bit, but not bad. Hopefully they help you.

Good luck, Swamp. I hope you get relief soon. Have you thought about your desk chair irritating the condition ? Make sure you have ergonomically correct chairs at both your office and home computers.

Sure hope it helps! It is my understanding also that they take a while to be effective. I hope this takes care of your pain and you don't have to end up having surgery.

Just get the darn surgery, already. If DH is any proof, one can wait too long to go under the knife. At some point, you go from being cooperative patient to victim. Just saying.  |

I hope the steroid shots work for you. I had 2 in my shoulder recently and they did nothing. I was desperate enough to try acupuncture. It did nothing except to empty my chequing account. |

It helped take the pain in my hip away for about a year. And it's still much better now than last spring.
However, I reacted badly to the shot and it made me crazy/depressed/pissed off at the world. I ended up taking four weeks off work for it to go through my system. Just wanted to warn you in case you react like I did and wonder why I went all crazy starting a few weeks later.

I hope it helps! DH needed medical attention for his gout when we were on our Alaska cruise and we went to a medical clinic in port at Klawock (pop. 854). They took good care of him and cortisone injections were part if the treatment. It worked but he did say it disturbed his sleep that night.

Sorry about the headache, Swamp. That's not an unusual result, unfortunately. Hopefully, that will resolve fairly quickly if you rest as instructed. It's good to hear the radiating pain has stopped, though. Sure hope that holds for you!

The shot cured the pain in my shoulder. Did the dr say how often you can get the shot?
