due to fm & arthrtis& a shoulder replacement,i've had shots almost eerywhere,the only ones that i can say really worked were the ones in my knees ,1 a week in each knee for 6 wks.took a couple mos. but finally they worked! i had 3 epidurals in my lower spine about 4 wks apart , they did nothing,they put me out to get them,thank heavn! not to mention cost,$7000 at a crack ! i have really good ins. tho, so cost me 0 out of pocket.some of the others were done in dr's office & would send me up the wall w/pain.i finally found a pain clinic that works w/me,but the only thing that really does any good are the pain meds.problem is,they make me terribly sleepy.just do what i can,putzalong like everyone else!just try to do what i can,but it's really hard.i keep telling myself that i'm 68 yrs old,but still hard toadmit i can't do what i used to !
