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.
