Subject: question daft I know

guys
you know when those lovely doctors give us a steroid jab are they giving us it for the pain or the inflamation and stiffness?
i should know really but wondered if i should try get to see doc before holiday on monday for a jab as aching and the pain is there constantly i really don't fancy going away for a week and having this in the sun as it'll just weary me more?
sorry for asking daft question, feel stupid and feel i should know the answer but not sure what to do for the best

Hi Willis, I often get a steroid jab before going on holiday and it can make such a difference. It helps with both pain and stiffness. I don't always see inflammation in my joints but they sure can still hurt. I would say the jab helps with it all so i would go ahead and get it. I hope you have a great holiday in Malta. xx

Hi again, well i went to the hospital this morning, it thought if they see me face to face they can't refuse an appointment. consultant is full but booked in to see nurse and she will just hopefully get him to come through and jab me. i'm due to see him on 30th march anyway so going early wont' be an issue i don't think
i've just done 3 weeks of full time work again and boy does it show on me poor body :) now i'm back in the swing of things i know i can go back down to a few hours a day or 3 days a week.
I hope you all have a good week and start to feel a bit better and your ops and animals and general well being improves.
i've now got washing/laundry to sort to get ready for monday so I'll no doubt be back to bother you now on 26th +
lots of nice gentle hugs to you all
xxxx
