Hello Sharon, just another to tell you don't worry it will be fine. I have had steroid injections on and off for years they are great for the pain. Takes a couple of days for real benefits to kick in. As they say best foot forward you will wonder why you were so worried. Take Care x

Hi Sharon :)

I had my first steroid injection on Monday. (Depomedrone) It was almost painless, and by tuesday night I was seeing an improvement in my joints. By today I am about 80% better in all my joints. I hope I am one of the lucky ones that will see the benefits of the jab for at least 3 months.
I hope you get lots of relief from it :)

Hi Sharon, I had steroids in bum, knees, shoulder and infusion. Quicker than doing your blood tests, takes only minutes and benefit for weeks. No need to worry, quick and simple.
