    Interested in experiences with steroid injections

    psychopengy, my 2 cents worth, I had injection into the hip joint under ultrasound. Pain decreased first 3 days and then worse than ever, inflammation was down (felt less stiff) but bone pain was maddening! So for me it did not work. Good luck :)

    Littlejem, yep I thought well ok I'm slap back in menopausal symptoms, but I then went to search and it seems like it could also be the anesthesia, I had a spinal tap.... I'll take it at that - it seems it's quite common, I guess it'll sort itself out. Thanks or the reply :)
