Hey guys! The last quarter of the school year is always the most chaotic, so I haven't had time to think much about this until now. I'm hoping you guys can help me understand some thing.
Back in April, I saw a specialist on fibro for the first time. My neuro set this up, as a last step to verifying my diagnosis. One of the things the specialist recommended was a steroid shot in my hip, because it's my most constant source of pain, and limits my ability to move. She stated that I wouldn't suffer from side-effects, and that I'd likely no longer need to be treated for my hip again. I declined, saying that I need time to think about this.
It sounds too good to be true. Have any of you gotten a steroid shot for joint pain? Did it help? Were there any side effects? How long did it last? Should I try it?
Thanks in advance for your insight and advice!
