Comments on: Shoulder injection has worked … a bit … http://pollyannapenguin.wordpress.com/2012/11/07/shoulder-injection-has-worked-a-bit/ This is a blog about me, my recently diagnosed rheumatoid arthritis and my struggles to stay positive about it!

I had a hip injection to weeks ago and like you, it gave some relief for a while but back with a vengeance. Doc wants me to come in for a second injection. I can see how a scan would help pinpoint the inflammation.

No more colds! As much as I hate being on the meds, I love how much better I feel.

I understand your frustration, Penguin. And I do know how irritating and disabling shoulder pain can be.

As for the flare vs. bloods…. grrrrr. It would be nice if the tests backed up the painful reality, wouldn’t it.

Take care, m’dear. Get plenty of sleep, drink lots of water, stay warm and maybe that narsty cold will take a powder sooner rather than later. Sending warm and healthy wishes your way…
