Hey you guys. I'm sending a hug your way to say thank you for relieving so much anxiety and stress for me. Your explanation of what to do after a corticosteroid injection, truly helped me relax with the procedure and gave me info on how to help myself.
Find doctors that work on athletes...they are more focused on movement and quality of life rather just pain management...
Totally agree
True
The Dr who just st gave me Eva shot said next is surgery to rather than physical therapy n didn't x-ray again in case it's broke. Also he said there's no limitations but I can't clean, shoot a basketball, it hurts when I swim. Even wipe normally lol I'm not getting surgery. I'm thinking the first shot I ever got did nerve damage
I disagree. I ruptured my achilles tendon and a sports doctor for a local college football team said surgery was the only way to heal. I decided to go NOn-op and he was pissed. After 7 months of rehab, i went for my final consultation with him and he said he was impressed. lol
Got injection in the hip today. Asked the doctor, "when are you gonna start? He said, "I'm almost done" I didn't feel a thing.
Thank you Thats good to know🌸 thank you Bob Brad🌸
You two are helpful AND entertaining!!
This video is most helpful!
You guys are great. We live in a rural area and these exercises are great.
You guys are so fun!
THanks as always! these videos help a ton.
Question: how long after the injected (i had a lumbar injection yesterday) should you wait til doing these light exercises??
You guys are awesome !!
Thank you gentlemen
I just had my 1st injections in both knees, my doc said basically it’s bone on bone 😬 I’m only 40... they’re getting really stuck or locked up at night to the point I couldn’t move them from that locked position. Of course I have osteoarthritis in hips & both knees. Honestly most all my joints have some form of arthritis. I really hope this helps, bc sometimes I’m home alone and can’t get out of bed for a long time without help the pain is just so bad.
I really appreciate your videos! When you both were stretching the neck back & forth at the same time , it made me laugh because it reminded me of an older movie “Night At The Roxybury” staring Will Farrell & Chris Kattan as brother’s in the car listening to “What Is Love” doing “dance moves” with their heads to the beat of the music...when y’all did that it seriously reminded me of that scene lol 🤣
Paul Katembo sorry I meant I have Osteoarthritis in both hips and arthritis.. I apologize for not being clear about that. Question..so you can’t get osteoarthritis in both knees or any one knee? Or is it unusual? I just know for sure I have osteoarthritis in both hips and arthritis In both knees and basically all my joints feel like I have arthritis, I was diagnosed with cervical arthritis and arthritis in my right shoulder as well. I’d say the injection in my knees hurt like h*** but it did provide some relief, but not getting the injections in my hips I feel I would’ve had a better outcome. I know that my hips and knees tend to hurt at the same time and lock up at the same time on one side most of the time ,sometimes in both sides. After the injections it helped not get such an intense lock up , and when I walk up & especially down the stairs wasn’t as bad. So I do believe the injections helped me. I think if I got them in my hips at the same as my knees it would’ve been better. Overall I’d recommend.
EDIT: just know everyone’s experience is different & I know I said it hurt like h*** but that’s not everyone’s case. See mine was done by my family doctor, I have fibromyalgia as well so things hurt worse for me sometimes. Most people don’t have issues with the injections. Hope this helps.
@@JessieLee_ Hi Jess, did you have any pain behind the knees? Also, did you have to go to an orthopedic knee doctor for the injections or will they do it at an urgent care? Will they do both knees on the same day? How many times per/year can you get the shots? Also, how long did it take to feel better? Days? Weeks?
PokerRun388 hello 👋 no my pain is on the sides of the knees & on the front. I always thought you had to go to a specialist, but my family doctor did both knees in his office. Not sure about urgent care tho. Unfortunately I don’t think they do that. But I’ve only had them done in my doctors office. It took days to get relief for me. I really hope this helps. ❤️
PokerRun388 oh and it depends on your insurance company on how many you can get a year. I think they last about 3 months. Kinda new to this , as I’ve only gotten this done once by my family doctor. He did at 1st refer me to a specialist but for some reason I didn’t go , so he just did the injections.
@@JessieLee_ Thanks so much! Yea, I'm new to this also! I guess getting old sucks, right? Lol! Oh well, I need to just make an appointment & find out exactly what my issues are & what I can do to get some relief. I guess I've waited this long hoping that the pain would go away, but it's just not responding. Thanks again for taking the time to reply back!
Just had one done today in my lover back. So this was helpful info.
Great info, gents. And yes, they do give cortistone injections in the neck. I had severe pain in my back right shoulder blade for a few months. Xray/MRI showed problems with my C4/C5. A local ortho did a floroscope-guided cortisone injection. There was a bit of cortisone flare but after 24 hours the pain was completely gone. Two years later and it is still good. Just wanted to add that.
Just watched this. Just what I am looking for!
So helpful.
You guys are the best
the first thing in the morning suggestions are the BEST - true lifesavers - if one is post-op or midlife and older, jumping out of bed unmindfully can be truly dangerous. Taking that one full minute of breathing, toe-wiggling, gently moving to wake the body all over - quick prayer or meditation is worth so much! Then rock a bit in bed and carefully roll up and feet on floor and stand. Super value!
My Dad was in an auto accident and woke in the hospital in the night , not knowing what work had been done on him,, unconscious - He jumped out of bed to use the bathroom - fell - and an arm and jaw repair had to be redone! NOT fun! Poor Father. I made a note to myself, that day years ago to try to be better about that one. I am May born and we are sunshine Mary types - for good and ill - and may try to get up too fast. Thanks Bob and Brad for this great refresher! I have reached the PT part of a few recent repairs from an old accident whose badness catches me now that I am a senior. But I know that if I get back to my fitness routine and follow here for bit, I will be able to fully enjoy these miracle repairs.
I got a this shot for my De quervains’s tendinitis twice and it feels so so so so so so good it been like two years
still good?
@@billymoullakis6001 would also like to know
Getting it for Dequervain's this week :-) How long did it last for you?
I love watching these two. Helpful and funny.
l've had this injection (in the hip) at least half a dozen times and have NEVER been told to walk. thankyou
I had the first ones in my knees yesterday. Bone on bone in my inner knees, dr said I didn't have to stay sitting down, but also not to paint the porch ceiling. He used a ultrasound so he could see where the needle was, I didn't feel a thing!
I have been getting relief for many years with these injections, but now I have been diagnosed with parsonage Turner syndrome do to these infections. The Mayo Clinic has done a study on it. So now I was getting relief for the the back but now my right arm and hand are useless. Even though I lost control of my right arm and hand I will still get these injections for a little relief on my back.
Got a cortisone shot for severe plantar fasciitis. Next day, was better, no pain, then over-used it, pain came right back. Maybe moving is okay after a cortisone shot, but it's not good to overdo it just becuse you dont feel the pain because of the shot. Probably depends on the issue and what exactly constitutes overdoing it for the specific joint.
Hi Bod and Brad just got my cortisone shot on my shoulder and told me no movement for 72 hours. I was going to hike after the shot and ortho stated no. I had a bicep/rotator cuff surgery and range is going really slow , 3 months later only can get 65% range. Reason why cortisone shot was given. And seeing your video is different take. 7 years ago I had cortisone shot on my lower back and I didnt have any restriction.
Hello, Bob and brad! :) Would you happen to have any advice on exercises for when you've had steriod injections into the costosternal joints? I'm waiting to have the procedure done as I have refractory costochondritis/tietze's syndrome.
I had my costo shots yesterday. I've woken in terrible chest pain
Thank you for your helpful videos, I just got a shoulder injection 48 hours ago. Now I dont know if I can do mobility exercises for shoulder( no weight) . If It’s ok to raise my arm?! I’m really confused. The doctor just said not to lift heavy for one month. I couldn’t find any protocols on google as well. Thanks
I just had that done in spine with xray. Felt nothing now pain free . i have been in pau for 8 months that to 1st wortless dr who did not care and then covid. Outbreak
Hi guys new to the channel just had a cortisone injection into my ac joint yesterday and been having problems with my shoulder due to a work related injury as I’m a CNA PT has not helped an made the pain worse! Since the injection yesterday morning even with trying to move it as much as I can, I cannot feel my hand now and the pain is 10xs worse then what the pain was before he injected me yesterday! Done heat/ice and nothing is helping the pain since the injection is also now in my scapula as well! Nobody can tell me what’s going on as workman’s comp is just taking it’s sweet time to get me to be able to see the right doctors! I’ve had 2 mri’s one on my neck and on my shoulder but swear they’re just giving me the run around because of workman’s comp and nobody is helping me and I just want to be out of pain I can’t do this anymore! HELP ME please try an release some of this pain I can’t do this anymore I’d rather have from my shoulder down removed then being in pain anymore and I’ve been doing everything I can to stay out of pain and nothing is helping and I refuse to take muscle relaxers or any pain medications! This has been going on since December 2019 almost a year in pain and 5 months of PT and nothing is helping!!
You peeps need to stop being heroes! Nobody has to endure pain ffs! I take 8 panadeine forte per day and all is fine.. It gives me a quality of life and my surgeon states I will be reliant on it for the rest of my life. Nobody needs to suffer so stop being stupid and take it!
Do you have anything exercises For carpal tunnel after getting the injections. Doc just want to stop screwing around with the injection and do the surgery.
i had a preignosne shot in my lower hip/buttock area for my spondlythesis in 4th and 5th lumbar regions then the urgent care doctor prescribed me 15 pills of the steroid to take orally for 5 days 3 20 mg pills to be taken at one time for 5 days i had a panic attack and i was sweating and my heart rate was goin crazy felt extremely lightheaded and dizzy and have a big black bruise where the injection was given .. im too freaked out to take the rest its got me feeling very wired and hard to sleep and emotional i was in tears today by the time i left work i was supposed to close but had to leave only after 3 and a half hours my physical symptoms was causing my mental and emotional anxiety
This is the exact opposite of what the Dr told me to do. The Dr. That gave me the shot. L5/ S1 back. After 24 hours plus I'm starting to experience a little pain. Should I be stretching or wait for the injection to heal? Thanks.
I had the epidural in my spine and the pain was out of this world. I felt like I was hit by 10K volts of electricity. I almost jumped off the table. Worst of all, it did nothing for me. It did not relieve pain at all. I will never do that again.
Did your pain go
It's bad eh! It is meant to emulate the pain you are experiencing.. It should hurt the same!! Stuff that! First time I nearly went thru the roof! Sooooo cruel! Mine was in my neck! ♥️ ♥️ ♥️
My husband had a injection today in his shoulder,he has rotator cuff problems with both shoulders , he had it this morning and now at 9pm he is in absolute agony,he’s took pain medication but it has not done anything to relieve the pain , I just hope this will ease off tomorrow,please god ,,I just don’t know what to do for him ? Has anyone got any help to give me to help him ? What medication is best to take ? Thank you for any advice you may have ..

I'm having my hip injected for Trochanteric bursitis, likely caused by my Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. I have it in both hips but can only have one injected at a time. Will I need to stay off my feet after and use a crutch to move around? And will I pick which hip I get done first or would this be determined through a scan?
Im going under full anesthesia for mine. Not sure why seems like most people are awake. Im in the 15% boat as far as pain from disc. So maybe this is part of the reason?
Hello, my guys very helpful, just got my injections today! Thanks for the explanation! Great job! Already subscribed amd hit liked 👍 thank again!
@@reelthefacts hello, i got my second one already and for me none of them haven’t worked, 😫 my doctor scheduled me for surgery in 3 weeks because i have a cyst that is growing and it causing most of the pain, also the herniated disc but not much as the cyst.
@@reelthefacts well, go for it hopefully for you it does work since you’re more recovered already. Im getting surgery cause i need to go back to work as well, and my cyst wont let me move around like before. Go for the injection and best of luck i will pray for complete recovery for you as well. 🙏🏻
@@reelthefacts you’re welcome man, fact! Gotta love social media. Very helpful! Well be safe and fast recovery! Hope injection works for you! Feel better!
Hey guys, thanks so much for your videos, could you do one about getting a shot in your elbow for tennis elbow?
I just got a 2nd steroid injection in ankle joint. My 1st was 4 weeks ago but the doctor didn't tell me to rest for 48 hours and according to him my ankle "gobbled" it up when the next day from too much activity. I woke up the next day after shot and my ankle felt the best in weeks. I could walk and walk I did. The following day I was right back where I was.
Now everything I am reading says ankle joint injections should be 6 weeks apart not 4. I had terrible inflammation and pain in my ankle. it was totally debilitating. Today is day two and I am NOT going to walk on it. I hope I am OK with injections only 4 weeks apart. What do you think?
These were my first injections ever.
I'm not a Dr, I've had injections. The lidocaine injections are what causes immediate relief, and can last a few days. The pain comes back when the lidocaine wears off. The steroid takes a week or a few weeks to work. I went back for a checkup after my back injection and the dr gave me another lidocaine injection to help the pain and to give the steroid more time to take effect. I just had a shoulder injection today. The lidocaine is what is responsible for my greatly reduced pain.
I would not like the verbiage your dr used. If you were given lidocaine, ask for only that injection to give the steroid more time to work.
I am probably getting an injection in my back. I'm a wheelchair user and cannot walk. I've had a lot of back pain for quite sometime. Hopefully, the injection will help.
Both my hands broke and as a result years later I have horrible arthritis for Ortheo arthritis in both hands. I live alone in a big house and my quality of life is being severely affected by this debilitating horror. I met with another orthopedic hand surgeon yesterday who administered two injections into my thumb area my whole hands are pain and they have not helped at all at this time it’s been a day and a half how long does it take for the effects of the injection to work? I’m going to start avoiding all sorts of foods that contribute towards pain in the joints and will begin taking supplements I’m interrupting my video here you may be saying something of benefit for me. She also gave me plastic thumb braces which really cause a lot of pain and I took them off today. I’m not able to drive vacuum clean the house do anything mobile on anything with my hands so horrible and it’s making me depressed
I'm scared to get 1 in my knee. Insurance says I have to before they'll let me get OA hyl. Acid injection in my knee. Are they safe?
I hAd cortizone in knee lasted 7 months. Then got 3 effluex injections they are good. On month 10 now. I m 62
Interesting how at 3:33 you say you probably don't even need imaging for the shoulder. Not according to literally everything else I'm finding online! They're saying that the "blind injection" only gets to the right spot 65-75% of the time. That's not a great gamble.
I’ve had it in both shoulders and it was fine.
Mine were both done at a special clinic using ultrasound to guide the needle . Any other method is blind and may not get where it needs to go.
The two in my hip worked great
How long after a Cortizone shot should you wait to get a professional body massage? Love you show and thank you
I have had about 2 or 3 a year for last 4 years for hip bursitis and always told to rest for first 48 hours - sometimes I get relief for anywhere between 3 and 6 months other times I don’t even get six weeks - have been told treadmill, cycling, any repetitive hip motion exercise not helpful for bursitis but have some physio ones that don’t seem to help enough to actually eliminate need for injections- any ideas ?
Hello i took a diprophos injection for my hand tendons which i am facing tendonitis symptoms with.
I took the injection into my glute however since the doctor recommended so. Will that help it work?
thank u for a nice comfyvideo. i'm getting a cortisone shot soon in my back bc i have literally 3 herniated lumbar disks lol. all the other vids are super medical so this is super comforting
How did u get on am geting mine in few week I’m so worried with side effects
@@reelthefacts no I phone to cancel as I have herd to meany bad things
@@reelthefacts it didn't work at all but had no side effects.my pain got worse as expected (untreated discs). set for second shot in a different area next thurs. next step is surgery lol.
@@carolinepinkney1176 don't be worried about side effects. i didn't get any. :) it just didnt work and im still inna sh!tton ofpain. having surgery after my next shot.
Had a cortisone injection in my ankle yesterday feel unwell today do I after mention this when I receive my covid booster jab
My doctor wants me to get one for my costrocondritis?!? What do you think?
I had a dual epidural nerve block done yesterday,I feel pretty good. Not alot of pain this morning. I go back in Dec. for a follow up. Them will have another one done in Jan.
How long do you last pain free with the injection before doing another round???
@@johnnyrodriguez276 Nerve blocks are normally used for diagnostic reasons and are short term. For long term relief you would want the steroid cortisone injection.
Hey Bob and Brad- I’ve been on hydrocortisone 400mg per day for 5 days, and just left hospital. Without their diuretic I’m all swollen up with fluid- what can I do to shift the fluid? I feel like the Michelin man 😢
Fifth grade I had a teacher who did the neck movements you've showed.
While doing this movement in front of the class he past-out, and while at the hospital, he died at the age of 34. He had cervical injuries that caused his collapse
Geez thats so tragic and sad
Is it normal to feel hot after ankle injections? I mean my thermostat is on 66! I can never cool off for a few days is that what they call post flare?
I just got a cortisone shot yesterday in the afternoon everything was numb and sore I do have a nexplanon inserted into the same arm that they injected but when I did the arm movements it helped but for a few minutes do I continually do the exercise? My doctor even said not to do anything physical but my left arm feels swollen and sore
I'm a stage performer and have just got one of these for a knee muscle tear. This was after trying physio etc. I'm also hypermobile so healing is disrupted also. Any knee advice
I was hoping to see what to do after getting a cortisone injection for tennis elbow?
I have post-traumatic osteoarthritis in my right knee after tearing my ACL, Meniscus, and MCL. Just got a cortisone shot, hoping it helps at least a little with the arthritis... it's almost unbearable at this point. I'm only 21.
I'm so sorry. I'm in a similar position and 39, older than you but still young enough that I shouldn't be immobile..Doc says shot next week. Scared. How is it going?
@@shashamarie4760 don’t be scared it’s not too bad of a shot, I got a little dizzy and had to sit down after it was administered but it definitely helped with the pain for a little bit. Pain is still there and it’s definitely not a cure but it will provide some nice relief.
@@munezbuckets830 thanks for the advice. I think I'll try it. Are you planning on getting shots once a year or what is your docs plan. I'm worried, for me, that this will only be temporary and then surgery. 😫
I'm an acrobat and had a really bad tibia hyperextention back in 2019, everything seemed to go back to normal after 2 months on crutches but the pain resurfaced after I landed stiff legged on my left leg on a flip reinvigorating the pain. The swelling is so bad and my joints, tendons, and ligaments pop constantly. I'm thinking of getting cortisol shots as this pain is so intense/immense. (Btw I'm 23 yrs old and this injury first happened when I was ur age 21).
Im 27 and have lumbar back pain lol getting a shot soon. Its very uncommon for us to be having these issues this young and does not bode well for the future im told.
After cortisone injection should I try bending my thumb assisted with my other hand ate leave it alone I currently can’t bend it it self
I have a shoulder labral tear and a cyst on spinoglenoid notch and measures approximately 1.5 X 1.4 x 1.3 Cm. I was given a cortisone shot for pain and it has relived 95% of the pain, but the cyst is definitely pressing up on my nerve cashing severe pain when i didn't have cortisone. Doc suggested shoulder surgery but i cant do that RIGHT now. I'm seeking to try Ultrasound-guided cyst aspiration to prevent it pressing on my nerve... then we can talk surgery but I'm cannot do surgery right now but the pain without cortisone was the worse pain i've ever felt in my life. I'd like to try PRP before surgery. I can do PRP and Cortisone to buy me some time.
what about thumb joint? Having a terrible post injection flare!
Yes!! Me too
Ice 🧊
I'm getting an image guided cortisone shot for retrocalcaneal bursitis. I'm a bit scared and hoping they don't get my achilles.
I got the injection today. Not as painful as a lot of people say but its an annoying pain. If you have some pain tolerance you will be fine.
I was told I would be sedated. I haven't had it yet, but am looking into alternatives.
Pain wasn't that bad. Just a weird full feeling im my knee. It's only been an hour though. Lol
I got this done today I screamed and cried like a baby frfr crazy because I can take tattoos 🤔
@@porshiaryans920 me too. It was in my ankle joint and the worse pain ever 😢
@@debperkinswhitney7736 it does not hurt never heard they sedate
Should you start moving joint immediately after injection?
Schyeah no shit hey. Get a cortisone shot in the back and start doing stretches straight away? Very conflicting
Should I do this at my very fast day immediately after the injection OR WAIT FOR 24 HOURS REST? Can any commenter answer me since these 2 guys never read or answer comments
Just had a knee injection today. The doctor made me immediately start moving my leg for about 5 minutes to "work it in." After months of pain, I felt so much better I walked 2 miles home. Doctor said I should immediately get back to walking, swimming, bike riding -- all the things I haven't done this summer due to pain (also had X-rays, MRI, long process) -- and lose the weight gained during lockdown. But seriously, ask your own doctor.
I'm never having another cortisone shot. I've had a total of 6 in the past year and every time I've suffered from severe depression, sleeplessness and fever-like symptoms for at least 2 days after. Not to mention the damage they can cause to tendons.
That sucks Martin! I realize that was a year ago... how are you doing now? Was the sleeplessness due to pain, like it didn't alleviate your pain enough? I had my first shot today. I have read about some of the dangers. I'm terrified of damaging my immune system and then getting COVID. I'm assuming the fever was because you had an infection.... ugh, that sounds just awful in general. I already have depression and I've really been spiraling ever since my accident which coincided with the beginning of the pandemic. (I have frozen shoulder) I think my exacerbated fear about everything happening in the world really did me in. If I had injured myself at any other time I bet I would have healed no problem. I wake up every day and just have really dark thoughts. I obviously don't have anyone to talk to about it, or I wouldn't be typing a YT comment that probably no one will ever see. Why is the human body so damn fragile? I'm not even 40 yet. I hope you have recovered.
@@rlynn6658 Hello there. How is your knee doing after 1 month? I had mine today and the above comment makes me Shreve. I think they domage tendons if used frequently. Losing weight exercise and diet can work great
I have never heard of these side effects.
@@rlynn6658 Hi Lynn! Your comment really touched my heart. I hope you are doing well...a year plus later. I personally have suffered severe sciatic nerve pain since the first global isolation. Prior to that I had a nice Yoga practice going. I'm still at it, but I have to fight daily letdowns because of the decline in my abilities due to the pain..I finally went to an orthopedic Doctor last week and got the proscription for 5 injections. So desperate for relief, I took the first shot last week. I felt great afterwards, but that night I hardly slept...I guess it's a side effect of the med. Today I was supposed to have my second dose but I didn't go....
@@yaelshmaryahu5314 Hi, thanks for your comment! I forgot that I ever wrote that. Well, my shoulder is just permanently messed up, is the unfortunate story. The shot helped me sleep but also gave me skin discoloration problems. I eventually got out of the frozen shoulder but I still have limited range of motion and pain when I move past my comfort zone, and a lot of cracking and crepitus. It's just never going to be normal again. But at least my arm is mostly functional for most things in my daily life, and I can sleep again. I have to try to be as grateful as possible.
One of the hardest things, I think, is not being totally sure what's good or bad for you. The uncertainty of how much to do exercises and when to rest, etc.
Maybe you can get a sleep aid to help you sleep after getting the shots -? It sounds like it'd be worth it to try.
Thanks for your message. Sometimes it's nice knowing others sympathize with these pains, and how frustrating our jangly bodies can be!! I'm wishing you success with the shots and with your healing
Can you playhard and run fast basketball🏀 after 2-3weeks rest of corticosteroid injection on retrocalcaneal spur
I just had my injection on my trigger finger (middle finger). Its my 3rd day and it is still really swollen. I would like to ask how long will it take for the swelling to subside. And it is painful to move it.
I didn’t know that you shouldn’t put a heating ad in and I did yesterday after my shot for. a couple of hours. I see in the internet in Bold letters not to.
Can this cause any issues? I just see don’t use heat or have a bath but it doesn’t say why.
I used a heating pad on my knee after getting a cortisone shot. I feel the warmth could aid in distributing and have it ‘soak in’ better.
I had an injection (2nd) in my shoulder today and became painful as time went on. When I moved it, I jumped. I reached for the heating pad and tried to go to sleep but I couldn’t so I googled and found out that a heating pad is a NO NO😳I couldn’t move to get ice pack either 😭Ugh I pray I didn’t make it worse
Thank you, about to get shoulder shot
What about the SI joint exercise or stretch after injection?
I had 4 cortisone injections, this year. One into the hip joint (Jan 2021), 2 to the piriformis muscle (March & May 2021), and one into the back (June 2021). Plus, one lidocaine injection into the hip. They only worked for 2-4 weeks. Mind you, I’ve had two hip surgeries (2011 & 2012), and started having issues again, last year. If I walk for exercise or in general, I have pain. Riding a bike on any incline is a no. Doctors won’t perform arthrogram MRI w/contrast, because the first MRI showed no tear, but this same garbage happened when I first hurt my hip, and it took two years to get an arthrogram MRI w/contrast to reveal I had a tear and bone Spurs.
I'm so sorry to hear that. It took me months. I can't imagine waiting years! I'll be praying for you. That's insane.
I just had a back injection after 5 years of pain. I pray you start to get some relief!

@@jamesvancam Cortisone shots don't fix you, they just mask what is going on. I'm getting into mineral salts to correct tissue damage, ligament damage, and other issues.
@@jenniferbecca3050 I guess I'm glad this injection isn't working because I asked is it just masking pain and will I be further injured and the Dr ignored my question. I'm active in sports and it's affecting excercise and household chores
Had mine in my foot last night. Was fine this morning .. now I can’t even move my toes for severe pain
I just had a 2nd cortisone shot in my shoulder. 2 weeks apart. My shoulder extremely tight and very heavy.. it’s been 4 days. Should I be concerned?
I just got the shot in my shoulder it’s day 3 I can’t sleep and I’m in more pain than the day of my injury
Lil Sami oh no so sorry to hear that. I ended up having brachial neuritis. Maybe it’s just a cortisone flat you are having?
I would call your orthopedic so they can prescribe you something for the pain.
Look up austin goh for physical therapy on UA-cam
What about the ankles?
i got a cortizone injuection in the palm of my hand under pinky i think im regreting it i only got one shot i hope i didnt do more damage
Why is my knee still hurting 3 days after getting a steroids injection on my left knee? There has been any relief at all. In fact it hurts just as much of not more before I get the injection. When will I feel some relief here? I'm still having to take prednisone to get some relief.
Doc failed to mention after a shot in my right wrist that i would have a dead hand!! And he recommended both hands good tjing after i screamed n cried after the first i said no to second and i cant imagine how i would of drove home
I got an injection in my knee six weeks ago. It bruised terribly, abut 8 inches diameter bruise. It's remained bruised for the entire six weeks. After the second week, the skin became raw and irritated, as if I had scraped my knee in a fall. Now at more than six weeks, it's a dark bruise about two inches around and it is extremely painful with scabs across the knee. I would not do this again.
That sounds like an infection! Which I know they say is rare but my goodness...I'm sorry you had such a terrible reaction!
@@rayahjaymes2413 Hi thank you for that information. I'm not sure if it was an infection or a reaction to something in the anesthetic shot they gave me before the second shot. It's been months now and I still have tenderness and bruising, and permanent scarring around the kneecap. I'd be grateful if just ONE medical professional would weigh in with their opinion, rather than remain silent about what it might be. I need to know if it could happen again - I need a Covid booster and am afraid to get one, b/c I don't know what kind of reaction I might have. Before my knee, I had received a booster the week before. When you get a Covid booster, they ask if you're allergic to certain things - which also appear to be in the anesthetic to numb you up for the cortisone shot. For goodness sakes.
@@rayahjaymes2413 I went to my doctor with the knee while it was extremely open and raw, scabbed over. She said it was definitely an allergic reaction because of the striations and discoloring.

I had an injection to treat herniated disc injury. No pain in the injection spot but a few days after and since (2 + weeks) I've had pain, numbness in my shins and a weird feeling in my feet.... I had no issues in my legs and in fact standing and walking was the only time my disc issue wasn't bothering me. Has anyone gone through this? Please tell me it will go away.
How are you doing? I'm really nervous about my scheduled injection.
I have 2 herniated discs. Just had my 1st cortisone injection this past March ‘22. I definitely don’t see a difference. Seems like all the specialists want to do is keep you on habit forming pain meds. Which I refuse to take. There’s more negative side affects than positive effects. I pretty much have learned to deal with it the best way I can. Such as sitting in an office chair to cook my daughter dinner. I have to take small breaks while doing house work or laundry. I can’t work anymore bc I can’t stand to be on my feet too long bc of the unbearable back pain. I worked in the medical field for 18 years and that’s all I know and love. Lord help me to figure this thing out so I can go back to work and provide for my daughter, again. I thank God for my boyfriend. I’m considering surgery…but I need to do more research first. Good luck. And advice is greatly appreciated.
@@natashajames4239gee your sciatic pain must be unbearable!!! I had a bilateral fusion at L3/4/5/s/1/2..from disc herniation at 4 and 5. I initially lost feeling in my left leg and dragged it to walk. The sciatic pain was cruel! Ihad the fusion with Steffi plates and screws and I have never looked back! I still get sciatic pain every now and then if I overdo it but my issues have travelled to my thoracic and neck! Don't be scared.. 3 months and you will be skipping.. Good luck!!! ♥️ ♥️ ♥️ ♥️
How about in the hand? I had one On my hand near the thumb area and by the time I got home the pain Has become unbearable and even worse when I let my arm hang down and its normal position. I can not put it any lower then my stomach area and even there I have to stretch it out every so often because the pain becomes sharp. As soon as I got home I took acetaminophen and it has not helped at all… Neither has the ice Ive been putting on it. Please advise me What can I do… 😭
I'm very sorry to read this. This has literally happened to me today with the same injection site. Right in the thumb joint. At first it was fine, but 6 hours later I'm in excruciating pain. Doctor said it was completely safe with no side effects. I'm getting the feeling they want to keep hurting me so I come back. It's insanity!
What do you do if you have spinal stenosis? What do you do if you have a rib that keeps popping out? I'm falling apart!

Gary Moller therapist says those shots dissolve bone and ligaments.
Hey, sir can one shot of corticosteroid damages the tendons?? Please reply 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Yes
I just got my back epidural today. My ataxia is worse after procedure. My legs hurt right afterwards. So odd.
how did it eventually feel?
I have this done in my neck to c6/7 due to a compressed nerve that is cruel.. Like an electric shock constantly down my right arm to my index finger.. So debilitating.. I initially had a bi lateral fusion at c345s12 after a fall nursing. The domino effect has crept up my spine and 4 years ago crush fractured every vertebrae in my thoracic.. Yes all 12 of them getting out. Of the car. The pain in my thoracic is cruel and has now crept up into my neck as above.. But I'm 70 and still working.. Keeps me fit and I am not going to let this deal ruin my life! The neck problem at 6/7 is narrowing dramatically which is very debilitating and scary.
I? Surgery 4 years ago but they still aren't prepared to take it further.. Even though I don't think I would pursue it.
Thanks for all of your advice..
I have great posture which helps and the injection is done under epidural and ct scan.. Im still not convinced it works or maybe it does but doesn't last very long. My thoracic pain constantly burns and is relentless! Luv from Australia! ♥️ ♥️ ♥️ ♥️
Sorry shld read L345s1/2❤❤❤
what kind of exercises can you do after a cortisone shot in the ankle?
Hey did you get an injection over there?
How did they go?
What should I do if the doctor gave me a cortisone in my shoulder and it’s in my muscle that was 5 shots and they use the whole bottle on my back. I have blisters at injection site and I feel ill to the point I don’t feel healthy. My brain feel foggy and my whole body hurts. How do I get the poison out of my body? Is it normal for a doctor to use whole bottle on my back in one area and have 5 shot?
What?
You can actually sue him. But as you know we always go to them in a very disparate state and we give our CONSENT b4 they administer any medicine. I can only offer you to try IF(Intermittent Fasting) this will help u to get back your normal life by flashing our those toxic. Don't do it once or twice. MAKE IT PART OF YOUR LIFE. hope I helped U. Good luck

I had my L5 injection and I am in worse pain and my leg has inflammation and knee is throbbing
I have herniated disc on L5 S1 and bulging disc on L4 L5 orthopedic suggest epidural injection . I got scared and told them no. I don't think my herniated disc on L5 S1 would benefit at all.

What about feet? I’ve had two in my left foot and just had one in my right foot and this one is hurting after injection.
I had one in my right foot. Now, I’m feeling pain in what I’m thinking is the tendon under my foot. Never felt that before.
I am a 70 year old retired coal miner and 4 weeks ago a consultant gave me a steroid injection into the muscle of the torn ligament I have in my left groin but it did not work and I have to now go and see a pain specialist to have a more powerful injection under anaesthetic but what I want to know will my torn ligament heal on its own or do I have to have this other injection or is there anything I can take to help it heal like any herbs or supplements.

Does it work in meniscus pain
He mentioned "meniscus problem" at the 1:11 minute mark. I have a torn meniscus in both knees. The injections worked for me.
Lumbar injection lasted two weeks.
