Guest guest Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Hi, anyone ever have bursitis? In the knee? I thought it may be arthritis, but it came on so suddenly, and was very painful. Saw my rheumatologist today, got a shot of something he said was more powerful than cortisone, depo something. Didn't hurt as badly as I thought it would, and I sure hope it works. Also got labs today, they were all good too, the hgb is 10 something, now would be a good time to get Aranesp shots, but medicare said I have to pay $1,700/shot. So, will wait til it gets down to 8 and go for two units of blood, costing $3,700.00. Besides not feeling well, I believe Lottie is at MDACC today and tomorrow.
