Guest guest Posted June 21, 2002 Report Share Posted June 21, 2002 Well it is my turn to vent now. I went to the pain specialist this morning and not very happy with her. Her mannerism was not very good. She poked, pushed, twisted and turned me. She wants me to have two shots in my muscles with steroid. Both places are in my back. I am not sure if that is what I want to do. I have heard they are very painful and the one thing I don't need is more pain. Has anyone had these steroids shots in their muscles? Was there any reaction from it? It is just so hard to go see a " professional " and have them act like you don't have any real problems. Do exercises.. do exercises.. that is all I hear. It hurts to exercise. It just seems like a circle, going around and around. I cant exercise cause I hurt, according to them my pain is cause I don't exercise. I just feel I am in a no win situation. And to top it all off, I received a letter today saying they have denied my SSD claim. I am having a very rotten day. I think I will take my Ultram and go to bed. Why does life have to be so mean !!!

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2002 Report Share Posted June 21, 2002 I have gone to pain clinic twice and had steroid shots I had two in my neck , two in my shoulders, two in my lower back and two in one knee, the first ones I had hurt but the second time I had them they didn't hurt as bad, they do seem to help for a little while, my biggest complain is all I wanted to do was eat. I will probably have them again in a few months. I don't exercise either I think just getting up and doing the housework and laundry is enough exercise for me. My washer is in the basement and I have to go up and down the steps a lot.I do hope that you get to feeling better Audie I need to vent !! Well it is my turn to vent now.
