dachshund

Hi everyone i hope you are all having
a good day.
i had the pain in my sacro iliac joint
the injec was in my bottom.
i have only got a ache at the moment
on the form i have i've got to put on it how much pain i have every day for a month.
it says for peoplewho have had athrography is that a cortizone inject.
thank you.

Ooooh, I have never heard of that one, dachshund. I have heard of arthroscopy tho - could it be one and the same? I know what you mean about sacro-iliac pain, both of mine hurt all the time now, it's not nice, is it? I hope the injection continues to provide relief: are you still doing the exercises and are they helping? I hope you are both well. DD

I Bing-ed it - collywobble is right, an arthrogram is where they injuect a contrast dye/medium into a joint, so that is an arthrography. I reckon it is a 'one size fits all' form, dachshund, so fill it is as they wish, recording your pain levels. Let's hope they stay low! DD

dachshund

Thank you DD and Lynn.
yes thats what i had injet and dye.
yes i'm still doing the exersizes and i go back to physio on the 15.
then i go about my foot on dec 7.
thank you for your help.

I hope it all goes well for you and you get some benefit from it. Sounds a painful place to have an injection! Lots of love Sue

Hi Joan,

Fingers crossed that the injection works quickly for you. Take it easy for a couple of days.
Good luck with the physio on the 15th.

Hello Joan, hope the injection works well for you and helps with the pain. You rest up for a couple of days and give it a chance to work in.

I agree, a day without the forums will be odd but I reckon we will all survive! I am sorry you still have an ache, dachshund, but that must be better than the pain you had before, although still uncomfortable. You take care and we will chat on Friday! DD

Hi, I hope that he injection soon starts to work for you! I've had them into the joint and it took a week or so to work, but they did tell me that, they should tell you these things because its worrying when you get a pain and don't know whether its normal or not!

Hi Joan, is the ache from the actual injection? Is the original pain better? I hope this works for you, be honest on that form.

Take care,

Speedy

Hi Speedy
the ache is in the same place as i have the pain but i'm thinking it will work this time.
it's worth a try.
thank you for all your help.

I take that to mean then that the pain has been reduced in its intensity - I hope I am right, dachshund. I have never had much relief from corticosteroid injections, I prefer the drip, drip, drip of a daily tablet or three! I hope the improvement continues and you keep feeling better. That does make such a huge difference to everything. Have a good weekend. DD
