Yeah. They usually give me Kenolog/prednisolone shots about 4 times a year but with covid, they gave me medrol dose packs to take. They told me that pulsing steroids isn't as bad as taking them constantly.
Totally ditto, Chick. Most days, though I am awake at 7, I am not out of bed till 9. I lie here and watch the news and doze a little under my electric blanket, trying to warm up my shoulders and hips and knees until I can move enough to get out of bed. I, who used to run everywhere because walking was too slow, now crip about on a cane like a woman 20 years older than my age. I want to be up and doing but I can't. It's so frustrating! I can relate to you saying darts. Sometimes I feel like somebody is sticking pins and needles in me, and I wish they would just stop!Thanks Cap. Some foot pain today. My shoulders were killing me when I woke up which is probably why I laid in bed it 9:10 this morning but it wore off more or less by noon. It's a big game of darts. Toss the darts at the human anatomy. Wherever the dart lands is what will hurt that day plus whatever pain is left over from the day before.
@Granny HatchetI do so understand your frustration. I told my husband a few days ago that I was just getting tired of pushing myself trying to do what I want to do in spite of the pain and just hurting for all my stubbornness. I am now looking at getting done what I can get done and then saying to H**L with it and taking it easy. For me, the less I do the less I hurt but that isn't what my personality is all about and hasn't been since I was in my early 20s. So yeah, frustration rules. All you can do is the the best you can do.
Like those of us putting on a hoodie, heavy gloves and a winter coat just to go out to feed the chickens!
So, damned no matter which way you go.
Methinks he still has a lotta growing to do, lookit dem feets!
Precisely. It's frustrating.
