Well, so far I have noticed a difference since getting the steriod injection into my knee on Friday.

Haven't had any painkillers etc and swelling has come down a lot, its still there though, i wonder if it ever goes away.

I have had an upset tummy and I wonder if thats because of the Meth & Steriod injections done at the same time?

The other thing that I have noticed since the steriod injection is I am very moody, it ranges from really happy to really sad, was very teary yesterday. I am hoping that this will calm down though.

So far so good with regards to the pain.

Will keep you posted.

    Although mine does help it doesn't completely take it away,but that bit of relief is alot lol..
    I do not have mood swings that i notice lol, but everyone experiences different..

    Really glad that you are feeling some benefit from the steroid injection. I think nine has done some good but I've been that busy over doing everything I've probably not helped myself at all.
    My main pain at the minute with the knees seems more OA for sure. That horrible acidic pain has eased at least.
    I'm a bloke do don't do mood swings, lol... :shock: :wink::lol:

    Good luck mi dear :D
