Tom if it is arthritis see if you can get some SolarazeGel, works pretty good for me. Was told to just use a matchstick head worth, pretty strong stuff.

Tom, I think a lot of us have some of the same pains that you are having. It seems different remedies work for different people, for the same pains. What reason did they give for not allowing the last shot of cortesone? :dono EB
Man I feel for you guys, and I'm here at home with only minor arthritis in my hands, elbow, knee, feet and ankles - oh yeah and that nasty blood clot in my leg...but the pain isn't so great that I need to get a shot. They did give me pain meds, but it made my heart race, gave me the shakes, and breathe funny, so I'm just trying to ignore the pain - sometimes it works, sometimes it don't. My parents told me it was gonna be like this, I didn't believe 'em...guess I'll have to tell them I'm sorry I didn't have more compassion for what they were going through.
I'm adding all you guys to my prayer list...God CAN take our pain away.
I also have it in several places. I've learned to just live with the pain. The VA has given me a number of meds for the pain, but I don't like all the side affects. I've never had better care than what I receive at the VA hospital.
New regulations. Can only have x amount of injections per visit. Same applies for skin cancer removals.Quote:

I here ya cane pole. Melissa and I run in to this kinda crap all the time--when you need the medicine you need it period--but they say when you can and can not get it. It is a pain (no pun intended)
