Getting my last shot tuesday

[davidpizzica]

PTers. My last shot is Tuesday. I'm starting to get a little nevous I don't think that the shots are effective. Support?

Paul would advocate screaming and crying when the person comes in to the room to give you the shot - he swears it scares them off.

Miss Hoppy would recommend biting whatever medical (or in her case veterinary) professionals approach. (They don't believe me when I tell them she doesn't bite anyone else!)

I will keep you in my thoughts, and tell you it'll be okay.

I hate getting shots too David so take comfort in knowing that you are not alone.

As my hippie friend would say.....

"close your eyes and go to your quiet place"

David, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this last shot will work for. Good luck, and I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Keep us updated, let us know how everything goes. Do like Slick said, close your eyes and go to your happy place.

My "quiet place" is with PT! Even if I am laid up, my fingers can still use the keyboard!!

The shots aren't working at all? Is there another treatment option for you?

Good luck on Tuesday. Let us know how it goes.

P.S. Have you tried Vioxx? Does it work at all for you?

I appreciate the suggestion, but there is too much arthritis in my knee. The shots that i've been taking were supposed to relubricate it, but haven't done much.

Good luck and well wishes are being sent your way, David!

I'm sorry, David.

I hope your doctor can figure out something for you.

I can understand your frustration so well, David. It's no fun to live with arthritis. I hope the next shot works out for you.
If you're interested, check this Web site:http://www.featherspring.com for the Featherspring/Luxis International Corporation. I recently bought a knee brace from them, developed by a football coach, that is helping my knee much more than the rubber sleeve the orthopedic surgeon gave me. It's under $20.00 and washable.
Good luck!

Thanks for the suggestion. It really is frustrating. I haven't locked my left knee back in a year and a half. I'm suer hoping too!!
