Got a cortizone shot in shoulder today......

[nobogey72]

It turned into a bad situation. After watching the Dr. (who used to be a friend of mine, but not anymore) fill the syringe with cortizone and novacaine I started to get nervous. Then when he attached it to this big A$$ needle, I got a little more nervous. Then, when he walked up to me and said, "OK now just relax and you're going to feel a "little prick", I said ....... "No means no, you just back up a little!" I decided to go get a 2nd opinion. My shoulder hurts bad but not THAT bad.:eek: :eek: :eek:

a real golfer would take the pain...

Dont't be such a wimp!!!
:crying: :crying: :weeping: :weeping:

I had surgery on my rotator cuff and it only took two years to stop hurting enough that I could say it helped. Refused to do the other shoulder.

got a cortizone shot in my back 4 weeks ago. thank god i didnt have to see the needle, but it felt like a dang pencil going into me:eek: it did help though!

[ronwx5x]

I reread the title of this thread. So you did or you did not get a cortizone shot in your shoulder today?

[DU_stud04]

cortisone shots are awesome.

[Ranger Mom]

So was it the "little prick" that bothered you??:eek: :eek:

I found out Monday I have pinched nerves in my neck, I have been in lots of pain for the past week and a half....I wish they would have offered me some kind of drugs!!!:( :(

I can handle the pain, I'm just not into feeling "little pricks" all that much. TexasFootball2, for example, probably wouldn't have minded, because he has been feeling a little prick all his life. :doh: :doh:

Let me draw yaw'll a picture.:confused: I've had lots of cortizone shots in various joints during the years, and they smart a little, sometimes a lot. But, never, ever, have I been told that I was going to feel a little prick. He's a nice looking guy I guess, but I'm just not into that.:thmbdwn:

Yes I did, I was just trying to be funny.:rolleyes: Either yaw'll are really "slow" or feeling "little pricks" is not that big of a deal (so to speak) to you.:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

But he did say, "OK relax, now, and you are going to feel a little prick. I nearly started laughing when he said that. I'll never let my wife go to him. She would have whipped his A$$ right then and left him there with a needle stuck in his "little prick".:inlove: :inlove:

I watched that movie the other night for the 50th time. It never gets old. "Marijuana? Are your kidding me? Hell, B A you give me harder stuff than that just to get me on the field" I think I could quote that movie line for line. I read a book by Walt Garrison one time and he listed the people he wished he had never met. Pete Gent (author of North Dallas 40 and in real life a Dallas Cowboy receiver) was one of them. Another one he wished he'd never met was my old college QB and rattlesnake hunting buddy Clint Longley.

NoBogey- I was a senior in HS at 'you know where' and had made fun of my mom for years because of her whining for years about getting cortisone shots in her thumbs for arthritis and I always thought what a wuss she was. Well, I have horrible ankles (because of basketball) and went in to see my loving doctor, who after all these years is still in Abilene. He says, "I think we will just stick ya with some cortisone in that ankle joint." and being the stupid kid I said, "Like okay- whatever". He brings in this harpoon loaded with this thick crap that looks like yellow palmolive dishwashing liquid and it scared the living hee-haw out of me.
Oh and I forgot to mention he had a hot medical student with him. So I went from almost passing out to acting like it was really no big deal at all. The doctor then jams the needle in my ankle and I know it took him like 2 hours to put all the palmolive soap in and by then I felt like I was going to puke ( but not in front of the hottie ). And then he took it out and the hole in my ankle was so big it bled for I know 3 weeks!!!!! But it did end up feeling much better by the end of that same day. So be glad you didn't get the shot- they really suck. By the way- on the way out the hot medical student told me, "you took that like a real woman"!!!!:inlove:

They actually put me to sleep when they injected my back (neck?). It has helped for about a year, now the pain is returning. May have to do a repeat.

[kaorder1999]

my injections were in the lower back...went through two rounds of injections 3 months apart. When it was time for the third, I went to another DR and he went ahead and operated!

Did he want you to feel his "little prick" also?:eek:

[Texasfootball2]

Yep! :D Same Dude:thumbsup: He also keep trying to assure me that I would feel much better later. I think he's a little on the kinky side also. He ask me several times if I would feel more comfortable if his nurse were there for some assistance:thinking: Not sure what that meant.:doh:

I've had bursitis in my heel and plantar facitis; I had to have a couple of shots in my heel and it's enough to make you come off the table. :eek:

"Like a dead Man"

[AP Panther Fan]

I've had one in the shoulder before:dispntd:

They had to give me a little "prick" to deaden it before I got the big one...still hurt BAD...really bad!

Luckily, within 24 hours I could raise my arm again, but then I came down with a kidney infection. They say that cortizone can cure what ails ya, but if your body is trying to fight off something else, you will probably get it. Go figure.

Just talking about this made my shoulder ache.:nerd:

A little prick before the big one:thinking: That sort of thing is not legal in Taylor County

Nope, took it like a 'real woman' according to that guy. Since then I have had 3 c-sections and some other fun things that made that shot look like a whip with a wet noodle. :D

Yep! Tried that! Part of it worked out OK. Part of it hurt like heck. When we switched and she was the Dr. and I told her I needed a "pulled groin"............. well, lets just say the woman doesn't know her own strength.:1omg!: :bigcry:

[Fotbol]

U may want to check with Barry Bonds b 4 getting that shot, YOu know you could be banned from golfing, especially if the shot helps your handicap:D

[Antec]

If you ever have another one, make them give you something to chew on. Like one of those leather dog treats. It really helps. But, leave it at the doctors office! A certain person in my family took hers home and chewed on it for weeks. It's embarrassing.:inlove: :inlove:
