Re: shots?
They have tried talking me into these but everyone INCLUDING my doctors tell me they are temporary at best and you can only get so many in a lifetime as well. Besides now there is a whole lot of scared people because they got shots that were made at this one place that has contaminated shots (Now they say it wasn't just the steroid shots either)The meningitis count is pretty high and climbing every day due to that place. What they were not telling the public is that compound pharmacies don't have to follow the same rules and regulations and that you are playing Russian roulette if you use things from those places. I know I had no idea and I am pissed. They said most doctors don't know where they get these shots from when hey order from their supplier. You know from now on everyone should ask where things come from when manufactured before they let a doctor touch you. This opened a whole can of worms in this country.
By the way everyone has said the shots are VERY painful to add to the reasons of why I would never get them.

Re: shots?
Hubs has gotten a lot of injections since he blew out his rotator cuff a couple years ago, two surgeries on the same shoulder.
They did a couple of rounds of the temporary relief injections, they didn't last him very long, just had test injections on his C5 to see if he is a candidate for the nerve burning/deadening and he's scheduled to go through with that this month. Also scheduling him for trigger point injections, don't know how well that will work but we have no choice but to try any and every thing.
He's sedated for all his injections at the pain clinic so no pain. He had gotten the injections with out sedation at the ortho doctors office, they hurt a little he said, but wasn't bad.

Re: shots?
I'ge had doctors try to talk me into them on several occasions. I do thinknit depends where you get the shots and exactly what kind you are getting if they are painfully. The last that tried to get me to do it was my podiatrist. Even he admitted they would be painful.My mother had it done and she has a much higher pain tolerance than I do and she said she would never do them again just because of the pain. But the foot is not the best place for injections.
Ash these doctors that gave these were not aware of these issues or that these shots came from a compound pharmacy. They order them from their suppliers and that's all . Now this will change many things. I know my doctors say they will ask where everything comes from. They know that their patients will be asking them as well.
Do you ask the pharmacists where your drugs or vaccines come from when you get them? I know I will. Did you know that they estimate more than 20% of the drugs we get from our pharmacies in this country are bootleg? And pharmacies have nit been able to fix this probkem. They cant always tell the fake from the real anymore.Did you know that compound pharmacies didn't have the same safety regulations and oversight that regular pharmacies have? I don't trust the FDA but I don't want pharmacies to have a free for all either. Something has to change to protect us.By the way did you know that generic drugs can vary 20% higher or lower than what it claims on the label and from what the brand is and this is normal and well known in the pharmaceutical world.So you never really know what you are getting. Especially if you get generic drugs. If its something that is a life threatening situation that you depend on these drugs this is all scary news.And there is nothing we can do about this either. I know I want to see lables if everything I get now. At least its a start.

Re: shots?
That rotator cuff surgery is a bitch, hope you're doing better. Hubs had to have his redone, there's like a 70% chance of a re-tear so take real good care of yourself. You sure don't want that to happen.
The physical therapy is a lot worse than any of the shots. Hubs can't tolerate pain so he gets sedated for his injections. Works out well, wake up and it's done and over.
Where exactly do they want to do the shots? Back/shoulder blade area, spine?

Re: shots?
Physical therapy isn't done to help with the pain, because it does make the pain worse, it's done to keep you from developing frozen shoulder and losing your muscles and range of motion.
Hubs just got two rounds of the facet injections. They are only short term, for him they were tests to see if he would be a candidate for the nerver burning, which may give him noticable relief for a year or so. Disc fusing surgery only offers him a 50% chance to relieve the pain.
I do feel for ya, hubs suffers horribly

Re: shots?
Anyone that has been through this stuff I think gets it. When your in pain for a long time you get to a point where you would do just about anything for relief. I know with all the doctors ive have gone too its so hard to figure out what is best for you. I am at a dificult place right now. My pain management doctor was in a terrible accident now they are say if he comes back at all earliest will be 6 months but they don't see it happening for at least a year if not at all. I feel so bad for him. This also put me is a very bad spot as far as my care. Although there is someone covering temporary and not sure if I can continue with her even if she takes me on as her patient. She is very far from my home and that is a major issue for me because I have to go every month.As you guys probably know pain management is changing quickly and they do watch everything doctors do as well as us. Dctors are scared these
days.
I have been followed many times. I understand why its done, however its unnerving especially to my children who have not opened their blinds in years because of it. Whats even stranger is seeing the reports with transcripts and pictures. It freaks you out knowing people are following your ever move even when you haven't done anything wrong.

Privacy? What's that? You don't really want to know what is being tracked about each of us. It will only upset you.
