From: Di on 31 Jul 2008 07:00 This afternoon will be the first of my 5 hyalgen injections into my knees. My left knee is the biggest problem, and I'm going to propose to the doc that maybe we should only do the left one. Although, honestly I'd love to have an even pain free knees. I'll also ask him about maybe postponing a right knee injection till next week, thereby extending the number of weeks to 6 vsits, the 6th being for my right knee only. Someone here suggested that, and I think it's a pretty good idea. I'm having a ton of anxiety over this. I know that in the big scheme of things, this is quite minor in its discomfort factor. But, I am most admittedly a real wimp. I'm a wimpy gimp, and I stress. I've read about the whole gamut of reactions from these injections, and I am so hoping it will be easy. I don't want to be one of the hard cases. So all, keep your fingers crossed for me. And, of course, I'll post a play by play report. <g> -- Di zinkadoodle at gmail dot com www.dustydogdigital.com
From: ANN M on 31 Jul 2008 08:59 Good luck Di. Concentrate on this proceedure being just the right thing for relieving the pain in your knees. Try to have a positive attitude and remember that it turns out well for a great many foks and you will be one of them. Ann
From: loujeanb on 31 Jul 2008 09:24 It's uncomfortable, but in the same way that any treatment to make something better is (if you can follow that LOL). So, hang in there and do everything the doctor says and your knee will feel lots better (99% of the time). Prayers and hugs coming airmail. -- Navy Take out the FISH to email me.
