I've decided to go ahead and do this. I'm a little nervous. Anyone have experience with it?

    I had one in my left knee. It hurt for about a day, felt great for a week, and then went back to normal. Some people get months of relief from them; I think it all depends on how your body reacts to it.

    Thanks. I had the shot this afternoon. Felt good for a few hours, now it hurts again. Doctor says it will be better by tomorrow and hopefully by Thursday morning I will wake up with something to be thankful for.

    Thanks for asking, rsdgirl. It's a lot better but I still feel limited. I have to watch what I do or it will start hurting. I did manage to rake leaves for a while this afternoon without any pain, which was good.

    I'm curious - it's several months on, how has this gone for you? I had one in my jaw a long time ago and it was immensely helpful.
