hi Sally
thank you for the support and the understanding...
and i will be careful not to bend and twist together...
i herniated discs years ago by lifting a little kindergarten chair
at work....my scoli was manageable til the discs blew...after that, it
was downhill all the way....
my SI joint shots, the only place on spine that shots helped alleviate my
pain, used to last up to 3 months...a good 2 months, and then the 3rd
month i started to feel the pain come back....
BUT....it took a lot of steroid to get there...and the last round of
shots, i had complained that the previous round didn't give me as much
relief...so the doctor was determined to do better...he ended up giving
me "a ton of steroid" according to the nurse...she said it happily, so sure
i would do well....that was the round that did in my cortisol...
i guess what i am trying to say is it is a fine line...not too much to
kill off cortisol...but enough to last long enuf to make the shots worth
getting...
i will cross my fingers and hope that your pain doctor finds the right
balance to help relieve your pain....
Sparky sends you happy "woofs"
