Well my two shots in my shoulders finally kicked in after a week and have to admit I feel great. I usualy have pains that travel..one day jaw, shoulders, fingers etc so Im wondering how long will this pain free holiday last ?

PS, I take weekly MTS 15mg and hydroxy.

Enjoy and I hope you’ll get several months out of your injections.

We are all individuals so all respond differently to our meds. I wouldn't bother about 'how long' the good effects just enjoy the relief while it lasts. Amazingly good timing!

That’s good news. Glad to hear they are working. I’m due to get steroid injections in my shoulders at start of February- have been waiting for them since just before first lockdown so hoping they still go ahead.

Joint steroid injections always work really well for me too and can last 3 months or more. Good luck and Happy Christmas .

Oh that’s good news quite the Christmas gift to be feeling better. I had a depo just over a week ago and I have to say I’m much easier too actually managed to have a stroll around the block yesterday which I haven’t been able to do for months and I’m not suffering for it today either so sounds like we will both be getting some relief for a while long may it last for both of us eh !! Joint injections usually last me a good six weeks and it’s the same with depo’s so I’m hoping this one does too even if it was in the thigh, I do realise that they are different but don’t care.
