    Typed this once but lost it.

    Oh dear val, there seems to be a few things goingg on there :sad:

    Is the injection you are about to have for a specific joint or will it be done into your bottom.
    If it is the latter it may relieve all those horrible symptoms.
    I would write it all down and present the list to your rhummy when you see them.
    I hope it all settles down soon, sorry I am not much help.
    Take care

    Val, you're welcome to my right side if you can put up with big backslab plaster and metal pins sticking out all over the place. But seriously, hope they can make you feel better soon. xx

    We wouldn't put you down Val even if you were a dog :wink:

    I think the jab will help sort your knee about and give you some relief from both the pain and pins and needles.

    Dear Val,

    Perhaps it is for the best that you are not sure if you are having one or both injections done. What will be, will be. I do hope that you reap benefit from the jab(s). I am sorry to hear that "everything" is hurting today, you poor love. Aw, yes, Val, tomorrow is another day and I do hope that it is better for you. I am sure it will be even if only a tad.

    Sending over gentle hugs,
    Elna x

    If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.
