bird 10,014 Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 had them in my elbow a few times now and feck me! they dont get any less painfull mate! the doc asked me if i wanted local anistetic but said that would sting more so just said just jab away it could have been worse,,,how long do these injections last? 2 days. You'll have to have it again Thursday. what they do is put the anisetic in with the stuff, so you get it all in 1 go. And what i was told by my GP is they can only give (3) a year as they reckon it softenes the bone where its done if given to much.? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MikeyMJL 128 Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 I had one for a hernia in my groin a few years back before it was diagnosed properly! The injection site was right where my sack joined my groin! It was epic to say the least Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BORDERSCOT 3,816 Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 i have an oppointment at the hostpital for this injection into my toes through arthiritus,has anyone had it done,im not scared one bit honest :cray:if iwas getting this injection anywhere else instead of the toes i think id be alright as i hate my feet being touched and just thinking about a needle going into a sensitive part.im going in half an hour Had a couple in my right foot years ago...aye it's sore...just suck it up and keep smiling... had them in my elbow a few times now and feck me! they dont get any less painfull mate! the doc asked me if i wanted local anistetic but said that would sting more so just said just jab away it could have been worse,,,how long do these injections last? 2 days.

And what i was told by my GP is they can only give (3) a year as they reckon it softenes the bone where its done if given to much.? I was told by my GP that you could only have it twice in a year...like you Ray I have had elbows done (both) and both shoulders and even though one young girls once had 7 or 8 attempts to locate the required site in my shoulder the worst was my right foot...let's just say it was character building...but like I said earlier today keep and all will be well...
