Now what kind of twisted logic is that? I've been suffering from a "strain" type of injury in my shoulder/upper arm for about a year now. I finally decided to have it looked at, lo and behold, I had "tendonitis" for A YEAR?! OMG, the doc said I could take two pills a day and go to Physical Therapy or, have a shot. Well I'm no wanny, but, I'd heard about these "shots" and I was none to anxious to have this horrific pain they have talked about. So I opted for the pills. I hate taking pills, and am not very good at it, I forget often, so needless to say the pill thing wasn't working. Also, the thought of 6 weeks of PT did not appeal to me at all, so I called, cancelled the PT and asked the Doc to give me the shot this past Monday morning. Well, it hurt a little when he gave it to me but really, no big deal, but, by the end of the work day, my arm felt worse than it had before the shot, it hurt so bad, I had trouble sleeping that night, "cortisone, thy name is EVIL." Anyway, I hurt so much that it was hard to even pull up my pants, put on my coat, I felt like it was never going to stop. But, here it is Wednesday and my arm doesn't hurt at all. What's up with that? Why should something so good have to hurt so bad to make you not hurt? Who ever came up with this solution, thanks for the relief. I think I've figured it out, I really haven't stopped hurting from the original pain, but the pain from the shot was so bad, that I just think it quit hurting? Yeah, maybe.
