At least for now, have some nearly pain free moments. I have had a number for shoulder and back (they make me sleepy) and probably need another in my right shoulder right now. Please read the information on this website. <BR/>http://www.arc.org.uk/arthinfo/patpubs/6250/6250.asp<BR/>According to this information you can have a shot every 3 or 4 months, and you may not need them that often. Information does suggest that you take it easy for a day or two to avoid infection.<BR/><BR/> The injections seem to be safer than the steroid pills (which I have had, and they can affect your nerves--did not like them, nor did I feel a benefit).patsijeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10362426384481772370noreply@blogger.com
