I Feel Like a Pincushion Easy Weight Loss

I was able to get the injection yesterday.  Well, injections.  Yes, two - one in the SI joint and one in the hip bursa joint.  I have to admit, I was much more apprehensive about this going into it because somehow it seemed like getting an injection into that teeny tiny space was going to hurt a lot more than getting an epidural injection in my back.

Prepped and waiting for the doctor to come in, getting more and more nervous by the minute. 

Turns out, I was right about the pain.  Really didn’t enjoy that, especially once the SI joint injection was finished, knowing that the bursa was next.  Needless to say I’m glad it’s over.  I took a quick picture of the X-rays and got the heck out of Dodge although it was a little late late for that, truth be told.

Left - bursa, right - SI joint.

I spent the rest of the day lying down to keep the steroid medication in place. Oh!  I forgot to say, they used a different type in hopes that I won’t get so sick from it.  So now the waiting game begins...will the injections work?  Will I wake up mostly pain free one day soon?  Will I avoid getting the awful side effects?  I have a feeling I’ll know the answers by the next time I will blog, which will be Wednesday since I’m taking Labor Day Monday off.

Have a great long weekend!
