Crying in pain -- Cortisone Shot



Recommended Posts

today after I went to my nut and psych, I had an appt at the pain clinic. I am crying in pain, the shot was given in my left knee, it hurts so much I cant walk im on the computer chair to get around, my son 15yr old had to help me roll to the bathroom. I took 2 800 Motrin and voltaren gel and lidocaine ointment

I will never tell anyone to do this. I been putting ice but the pain is real bad, I can't even move my toes.

I had the cortisone shots in my 2 in my head and my 6 on my back, and right knee also.

im suppose to go back in two months, I am not sure if I go I cant go through this pain, I have the fan on, window open bc im so hurt.

I live in boston, weather today seem good.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
