why is it they dont tell us properly what exactly is wrong with us, I went through blood tests a few yrs ago, I found out they were for bone cancer, as the neuro had spotted something on my spine, the nice lady on reception at gps blurted it out, spent quite a few days in tears and shock

Hi Lindz, just tell your doc to forget about the injections and go straight for the operation.

sorry but i'm going to be truthfull here injection is bloody agony, i had never felt pain like it and i have a high pain threshhold!!

The op is nothing like they say it was instant relief, although once the local wore off it was sore, i was back to work 3 weeks later!

I know everyone one is different with pain, but i thought i would tell you my experience. :)

good luck.

Hi Lindz, I have to agree with Anne :) My step daughter and I were both diagnosed at the same time when we lived in Germany! I had the operation almost immediately whilst my step daughter went through months of agonising injections only to have the op anyway! Unfortunately she now has a 'dent' in her wrist where the injections were given! Her recovery period was longer than mine too :/ As I said though our treatment was in Germany so may have been different techniques to back home :) I hope you get it sorted one way or another :) (((hugs)))
