Kenalog: An Update

Had the shot, then two weeks later, a follow up appointment to assess. 

I am neither overjoyed nor non-plussed by the effects of the shot. Do I feel any marked improvement? Depends on the day when you ask. We're now into rainy-snow almost wintery mix weather out there, and the pain is still there, though the intensity varies from day to day.

Some days it feels 20% better. Some days more. But I would not say on a good day that my pain is 50% diminished. Not going back for another shot at this time, or at least not in my spine. Though I am considering a shot for my trochanteric bursitis in my hip.

Results: Neither here nor there. Glad to check it off my to do list.

Yesterday: Kenalog Injection

Yesterday I had kenalog injections/facet joint injections. Too soon to tell if it's working. Though I'm clearly HOPING there is some merit in it!

Have to follow up with the physiatrist in two weeks to assess any improvement.
