Donna, Why do you have to wait until May 15th? How long do you have to wait in between corizone shots? Is tramadol like vicodin or stronger? The vicodin sure took the edge off, I actually slept last night.
Because my appointment is with an orthopedic doctor and that is the earliest he could fit me in. I'm going to talk to him then about what other options I have. This knee pain can be debilitating, like yesterday. Tramadol is not as strong as vicodin, but works the same way. Vicodin knocked me out so I can't take it when I'm at work. Cortisone shots are given, I think, at 3 month intervals, or whenever they wear off. I was told that you are limited to three injections, but not sure how true that is. I'll find out more on the 15th
